DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR 15TH PLUS DAC Silver

Denafrips Terminator 15Th Plus: An exceptional DAC

The Denafrips Terminator 15th Plus digital/analogue conversion module and its R2R ladder networks are perfectly isolated. The two boards are physically linked by the OCXO clock module. Physical isolation reduces background noise and gives a better signal-to-noise ratio.

The Terminator 15th Plus is equipped with two OCXO clocks operating at 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz. Encased in a metal case in the centre of the DAC, these OCXOs are specially designed for high-end audio applications with ultra-low phase noise and very high precision. Both OCXOs are powered by the completely redesigned power supply circuit, providing a constant current to the clocks. Adequate power reserves guarantee the linearity and stability of the clock signal.

Jitter is also reduced by reclocking the FIFO buffer. The adaptive FIFO buffer stores digital audio data. These are read directly using the very low phase noise OCXO located directly in the DAC.

The Terminator 15th Plus also features an OCXO clock output for perfect synchronisation of several audio devices.

Denafrips Terminator 15Th Plus: FPGA signal processing

To ensure the shortest possible signal path, I2S and SPDIF signals are processed on an FPGA chip, without any additional conversion chips.
