Audio Aero – La Source

Exclusive Audio Aero digital processing S.T.A.R.S Evolution module Audio Aero teamed up with Anagram Technologies to develop the ultimate digital treatment possible: Based on a DSP 32 bits/384 kHz with 2 channel Asynchronous Sample rate converter, the digital output is driving 2 DAC’s in dual mono mode. Dedicated ultra-low jitter Master clock We combined our exclusive S.T.A.R.S Evolution process with a dedicated ultra-low jitter Master clock that incorporates a high grade natural quartz crystal. This resulted in a new level of noise reduction and digital artifact reduction (including Jitter) with less than 1ps of RMS Jitter. Through this process we were able to facilitate a truly accurate digital audio signal that creates unequalled spaciousness and richly detailed sound. Dual mono dac + tubes outputs After our exclusive S.T.A.R.S Evolution treatment to the digital signal, we chose to re-design our analogue output stage. We selected the sub-miniature dual triode 6021W from Jan. Philips directly soldered on the PCB board for perfect contact. We also chose to cryogenically treat the valves and this resulted in extended tube life and improved sonics.
