The AlgoRhythm Solo™ DAC – Audiophile Heaven:
Wolfson Microelectronics™ makes many DAC’s, including those incorporated into many earlier Apple devices, so what’s new? The AlgoRhythm Solo™ uses a premium Wolfson Microelectronics™ Reference grade DAC, far and away a superior digital engine. Check out the specs and then listen to the beauty.
Frequency Response (20 Hz / 20 kHz) 0dB/-.4dB
Noise Floor (DC -> 30 kHz) 28 uV
S/N Ratio (DC -> 30 kHz) 98 dB
THD+N (1 kHz FS 44.1 kS/s) .002%
While the DAC chip inside the Solo is capable of processing 24/96 bit-rate, the Apple device DAP platform as a whole is currently limited to 16/44.1 or 16/48KHz sampled content. That is still CD quality and that is what the AlgoRhythm Solo™ delivers, finally!
The asynchronous transfer mode allows the AlgoRhythm Solo™ to overcome the limitations and artifacts associated with sync transfer mode through USB, such as lots of jitter, but the DAP firmware supports native decoding of 24/96 for decryption by the 24/96 DAC chip inside the AlgoRhythm Solo™.
