Template:FAQ:KDSM/3 differences
What is the difference between Klimax DSM (2020 variant) and earlier versions?
- Exakt Devices
-
- • Ultra-low jitter clock with improved clock distribution circuitry and new low-noise power supply
- • This clock is used as the Exakt master clock and is distributed to all Exakt devices in the system
- • Improving the clock in the Klimax DSM (AV / Music / Hub) improves the performance of all Exakt devices in the system
- Analogue Inputs
-
- • Brand new, high-performance ADC (analogue to digital converter) which now has its own circuit board and dedicated power supply
- • New design has lower noise and lower distortion which benefits all analogue sources
- Digital Inputs
-
- • New Linn-designed SPDIF receiver implemented in an FPGA
- • Improved clock recovery algorithm for reduced jitter
- • SPDIF inputs support up to 192kHz/24-bit audio
- • One SPDIF digital input can be configured as an output - This is also possible in the Klimax DSM/2 (2016/208 variant)
- • The addition of a USB (type B) input allows connection to a computer as an audio device
- • USB input supports up to 384kHz/24-bit audio
- Streaming
-
- • 384kHz/24-bit streaming support
- • DSD256 audio format support
- Connectivity
-
- • The optical Ethernet connection improves audio performance by providing complete isolation from noisy network components
- • WiFi and Bluetooth (4.2) connectivity
- • Audio can be streamed from devices such as mobile phones, Alexa, Google Home
- HDMI
-
- • HDMI eARC support
