Acoustic Revive 1.0SP USB cable

The new and most unusual USB cable is now on demo here at mundoaudiofilo

Some high-end USB cables made by audio cable manufacturers have independently shielded signal line and power lines, however, these two lines are in close proximity in the same cable and it is impossible to avoid influence from the power line to signal line.
In addition, this structure is constantly causing noise reflections inside the outer shielding tube which will significantly damage sound quality.
USB-1.0SP and USB-1.0PL are equipped with two independent cables consisting of a two-core shielding structure with a 100% shielding effect obtained by using a copper foil. This is the only USB cable which is successful in stopping noise interaction between the power and signal lines.
Acoustic revive obtain further improvements in sound quality by employing two A-Plugs to separate the Signal and power lines from the output terminals.  
USB-1.0SP employs two A-Plugs for the output side to achieve perfect separation of the signal line and power supply line.
A P/C is normally equipped with several USB outlets conveying the same signals, therefore, you can bring out the Signal and Power lines separately from the output, resulting in a dramatic improvement in sound quality, channel separation and S/N ratio
USB-1.0SP and USB-1.0PL USB cables are 100% Made in Japan and are equipped with a very thick 0.8_ Solid single-core PCOCC-A conductor (the highest diameter USB cable currently available on the market) to achieve an overwhelming D range and F range that was impossible to create by conventional USB cables.

KingRex UC192



Handling digital audio up to 32-bit/192kHz, the UC192 has S/PDIF and IIS digital output available from your PC to provide high-end audio sound quality. The master clock generator is a "classy 1ppm TCXO w/ proprietary drivers lower jitter". KingRex's UC192 streams out high resolution playback from PC or MAC USB v1.0/2.0 port from 16-bit/44.1kHz to 32-bit/192kHz via a very high quality S/PDIF stereo audio output and IIS (RJ45/Ethernet) all able to pass the signal from KingRex UC192 to your system's DAC. KingRex used a fully aluminum case with black hair brash polish. The style still remain neat and clear. Other features include adaptive clock generator for audio streaming synchronization an the unit supports CRC error correction for playback data. For IIS (RJ45/Ethernet), the KingRex UC192 supports IIS Master Mode, Slave Mode sample rates from 8 to 192 kHz with bit rates from 16 to 32.


KingRex UD-01 Pro



The two words on everybody's lips these days seem to be audio and computer, not necessarily in that order. Now that hard drives have gotten big enough not to be an issue for music storage, life seems much easier for audiophiles to mix high quality audio and computers. It will be a trend for audiophiles (perhaps all music lovers!) to update their CD players to the PC Hi-Fi.
Various options exists, from the crude exercise of running a 3.5mm mini-jack to RCA cable from a PC soundcard to the amplifier’s auxiliary input, to fancy networked internet radio, or external USB DAC devices.
The USB DAC device should be the most popular choice for most users as it has two advantages that no one would deny.
  1. Convenience - as USB ports can be found on almost any computer, and using USB is as simple as it gets
  2. Reduce the noise levels found inside computers
The second point is the most important, as it's the main reason for Hi-Fi enthusiasts to reject using the computer as a source. The combination of high ripple noise, high frequency radiation, jitter and unstable voltage outputs can cause havok with any Hi-Fi system. So by using a USB DAC, the important circuitry is located externally from the computer and therefore will reduce most noise issues.
The UD-01 Pro is KingRex's upgrade on the current popular UD-01 design. The main DAC chip remains as the BurrBrown PCM2702E, it provides dual-channel storage for high internal buffer. The UD-01 Pro also features a low-pass filter and DC servo designed by KingRex's dedicated engineering team. Other upgrades on the UD-01 Pro include the integrated linear power, which replaces the standard switch mode design, and a 1ppm TCXO clock.

Just this week here at mundoaudiofilo we've just received the new AstinTrew AT8000 phono stage and what a little corker we've get here, it is adjustable to suit just about any cartridge from MM, and low output MC carts the new AstinTrew AT8000 does it all, but above all it posses a lovely open sound that punches well above its price point would suggest.

Tuesday, 16 February 2010

After a short delay due to bad weather and a few tweaks under the hood, the new AstinTrew AT8000 will be ready for March. We are really looking forward to testing this MM/MC phono stage as AstinTrew tell us it's going to be something quite special.
