LUXMAN’s proprietary drive mechanism LxDTM with high rigidity is employed. Two of the Texas Instruments 32 bit DAC PCM1795 were adopted by Luxman to allow fully balanced configuration for the output amplifier circuit.

Its a derivative design from ultra-massive design first used in the D-08 which combines superior rigidity with outstanding accuracy. Compared to a CD drive, an SACD drive has a higher RPM, and pickup positioning accuracy as well as the suppression of vibrations must be of a higher order, to allow full access to the enormous amount of information stored on the disc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn the transport, a digital servo with a dedicated DSP assures accurate readout of the signal recorded on the SACD using the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) principle. This is sustained by a single-lens\/twin laser diode pickup mounted to a high-speed access mechanism. The mechanism not only realizes optimal reproduction of SACDs, but it also is capable of extracting a super-accurate signal from conventional CDs.\u003cbr\u003ev\n\nLuxman’s own rigid disk drive mechanism LxDTM does not utilize a common centre mechanism structure but employs a left side mechanical layout in an asymmetrical configuration. The entire mechanism is enclosed in the chassis by a strong box structure for blocking external vibration.

Over the years, steady progress has been made improving its musicality. But retrieving all that is possible from this optical medium has remained somewhat elusive until the introduction of the DMP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMost engineers in our field, including our own, failed to recognize the critical need for timing perfection to appreciate all that is available on CD. Not until 2009, with the introduction of the PerfectWave Transport, did we begin to understand that there was more to CD than we had ever imagined.  The PWT demonstrated that careful extraction of data, coupled with isolation of the output clock, yielded unexpected benefits: more information than we knew existed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOur next uncovering of what treasures lay hidden in the CD was even bigger. DirectStream DAC. DirectStream DAC’s inventor, Ted Smith, opened our eyes to what was possible to render (playback) from the original optical storage method—once believed to be so lacking that only higher resolution upgrades could salvage the sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe PWT opened our eyes to what could be extracted, the DirectStream DAC turned the lights on for what could be rendered, and the DMP has finally opened wide the door to what is possible when extraction and timing are near-perfect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCover art and song titles\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDMP enjoys a new user interface that includes song titles and tracks that can be read from a distance. Like its predecessor, the PWT, album art can be automatically downloaded when DMP is connected to the internet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEvery time you play a disc (and are connected to the internet) a copy of the cover art and song titles are kept for you on your own private library page, accessed through our website. From your personal page it is a simple matter to correct any of the CD’s information, change cover art and polish your CD collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSACD extraction\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSony and Philips corporations introduced the CD’s successor, the SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) in 1999, 17 years after the original launch. Instead of downsampled PCM from higher resolution original recordings, which many Red Book CDs are based upon, SACD held the promise of access to the original master tape or recording through a new format, PDM (Pulse Density Modulation) that Sony and Philips rebranded as DSD (Direct Stream Digital).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBecause this new high resolution digital format was essentially identical to the master tape, strict copyright protections were put in place to protect the rights of artists and recording labels. Those protections remain in place today, as well they should. Most collections of SACD have only been heard through Sony\/Philips authorized DACs, internal to the players, unavailable as a separate digital audio datastream to external DACs.\u003cbr\u003ev\n\nPS Audio’s DMP is one of the first transports to provide external access to the pure DSD layer on SACD. DMP can do this, legally, because the raw data stream cannot be copied. DMP owners with PS Audio’s DirectStream DAC, or DirectStream Junior, can access this encrypted layer through our unique I²S interface. Once connected, DMP authenticates the presence of a PS Audio authorized DAC and, for the first time, listeners can get closer to master tapes than ever thought possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDirectStream DACs are pure DSD based and nothing sounds quite as magical as DSD copies of master tapes processed into exquisite analog through DirectStream DACs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nI2S through HDMI output\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThere are three ways to get digital audio data out of the DMP: S\/PDIF, AES\/EBU or I2S HDMI. I2S is the preferred method if you have a PS Audio DAC or any manufacturer’s DAC that can receive it. Three such I²S interface are provided, allowing for 6-channel high resolution audio to be streamed from DMP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nS\/PDIF (and AES\/EBU) are the standard delivery methods found on all transports and, while excellent, remain a compromised format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nStandard digital outputs take three separate internal clocks along with the raw music data and combine them into one stream to the DAC. This mashup of music and clocks causes the audio to sound flat and harsh compared to I2S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA much better way of delivering the music is what I2S does, by transferring the clocks and data on separate wires within the HDMI cable, and the audible results are impressive. Simply use any HDMI cable between the DMP and appropriate DAC and you are transferring data perfectly, through I2S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA growing number of DACS and devices are adopting the PS Audio HDMI standard for digital audio transmission because of its superior audio quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPowerful analog discrete power supply\u003cbr\u003e\n\nClean and well-regulated power is essential for a high-performance universal disc player like the DirectStream Transport. Instead of the typical switch mode power supply, a fully analog approach is taken with DMP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThree separate and isolated analog power sections make up DMP’s power supply. Fed from a large toroidal power transformer with three galvanically isolated windings, each of the three power stages utilizes discrete full wave rectification based on high-speed low-loss diodes. Energy storage for the three sections comes from a bank of low ESR high-value capacitors bypassed by non-inductive film capacitors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEach of the three power storage banks are then double regulated by discrete, linear, voltage regulators which reduce ripple to the microvolt level and lower impedance to well below an Ohm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPlayback of stored data\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe front panel USB input on DMP is available for small music collections stored on USB drives. Plug in a USB thumb drive and its contents can be accessed and played back through DMP. While the instrument itself is capable of handling large numbers of tracks, selection can become cumbersome if there are too many.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTracks from the data drive are displayed in small groups on DMP’s touch screen, and navigating larger libraries can be time consuming. PS engineering added this input as a courtesy port offering quick access to a friend’s favorite album or track. We imagine being at a consumer audio show and customers wishing to hear music stored on their thumb drives will find this input convenient and excellent sounding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTechnical Specifications:-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPHYSICAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nUnit Weight 22 lbs [13.5 kg] \u003cbr\u003e\nUnit Dimensions 14” x 17” x 4” [ 36cm x 43cm x 10cm] \u003cbr\u003e\nShipping Weight 31 lbs [19 kg] \u003cbr\u003e\nShipping Dimensions 20.5”x 24” x 10” [52cm x 61cm x 25cm] \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPOWER REQUIREMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nInput Power Model specific 100VAC, 120VAC, or 230VAC 50 or 60Hz \u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption 30W \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nINPUT SOURCES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nI2S(2), Coax, XLR Balanced, TOSLINK, USB, Network Bridge slot \u003cbr\u003e\nOptical discs CD Standard Digital Audio\u003cbr\u003e\n CD-R\/RW CD Data Discs with audio files\u003cbr\u003e\n HDCD High Definition CDs\u003cbr\u003e\n SACD Super Audio CD Stereo or Multi-Channel\u003cbr\u003e\n DVD-R\/RW DVD Data Discs with audio files \u003cbr\u003e\nUSB Drive USB Flash Drive with audio files \u003cbr\u003e\nFile Format AAC FLAC OGG\u003cbr\u003e\n ALAC M4A OGM\u003cbr\u003e\n AVI M4V WAV\u003cbr\u003e\n DFF MP3 WMA\u003cbr\u003e\n DSF MP4 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOUTPUTS\u003cbr\u003e\n \nI2S 3 (Front, Rear, Center\/Sub)\u003cbr\u003e\n Connector HDMI Type A\u003cbr\u003e\n (Uses HDMI connector but not compatible with HDMI inputs)\u003cbr\u003e\n PCM output 44.1KHz to 192KHz\u003cbr\u003e\n DSD output 2.8MHz \u003cbr\u003e\nCoax 3 (Front, Rear, Center\/Sub)\u003cbr\u003e\n Connector RCA\u003cbr\u003e\n PCM output 44.1KHz to 192KHz\u003cbr\u003e\n DSD output DSD over PCM 2.8MHz (176.4KHz) \u003cbr\u003e\nBalanced 1 (Front only)\u003cbr\u003e\n Connector XLR Male\u003cbr\u003e\n PCM output 44.1KHz to 192KHz\u003cbr\u003e\n DSD output DSD over PCM 2.8MHz (176.4KHz) \n\n\n","brand":"PS Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57413664768332,"sku":"PSAUDIODIRSTRMEMPLAYER","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/PS-Audio-DirectStream-Memory-Player.jpg?v=1777545525"},{"product_id":"dcs-rossini-cd-sacd-transport","title":"dCS Rossini CD\/SACD Transport","description":"Rossini uses the very latest dCS Digital Processing Platform and Ring DAC technology, originally developed for the flagship Vivaldi series.

Native CD data is available from 3 PCM outputs (1x AES3 and 2x SPDIF), as is down-sampled SACD data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Rossini CD\/SACD Transport mechanism features a 2mm steel frame, cast aluminium disc tray and vibration dampening materials delivering excellent performance in rigidity, vibration resistance and resonant-free operation. Electronics have been optimised to ensure extremely low-noise disc reading and the heavily damped mechanics ensure minimum unnecessary servo operation and current draw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRossini Transport can be controlled via the custom Rossini control app, allowing listeners to manage their music playback from any source in an elegantly simple way – accessing CD or SACD playback, digital and UPnP sources all from one control point. The Rossini app also features an intuitive install and configuration wizard for ease of set-up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRossini Transport is intended to be used with the matching Rossini DAC or with any suitable industry standard DAC. The unit may be run in Master mode or by using the DAC as the system clock. Performance will be enhanced further by adding the Rossini Clock to the system. The Rossini range supports the simple yet highly effective dCS ‘auto clocking’ architecture as used in Vivaldi, which minimises jitter and improves sound quality significantly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDesigned and made in Great Britain to the highest standards, Rossini’s elegant chassis uses aerospace-grade machined aluminium with internal acoustic damping panels to reduce sound-degrading mechanical vibration and magnetic effects.
