Overview
Ultra AL32 Processing utilizes data interpolation algorithms and supports high-resolution 192-kHz/24-bit PCM signal input. These algorithms interpolate points that should exist before and after the points in large quantities of data to achieve a smooth waveform that is close to that of the original signal.
Carefully restoring data that was lost during digital recording results in playback sound that is highly detailed, richly expressive in the lower range, and beautifully faithful to the original sound.
Because accuracy is the key to performance, the high-quality master clock is the reference for the four-audio DAC operation, the network module, and USB-DAC to ensure that the digital audio circuitry performs at its maximum potential.
