Separatie Galvanica

Your favorite D/A converter may not be the latest but you like its sound, appearance and features. So you don’t want to buy another expensive DAC just to connect a computer.

This is where our interfaces come in. The INT202 / INT203 allow any DAC to be connected to a FireWire or Thunderbolt ported computer. This is done, optimally, by slaving to the computer’s internally generated clock with absolute bit transparency.

The INT202/INT203 interfaces are two variants with slightly varying features. Common to both units is that they handle all standard sampling frequencies between 44.1 and 192 kHz.

• The INT202 is a stereo Firewire to AES/EBU (unidirectional) interface with infrared remote control for volume and absolute polarity. It supports dual wire data transfer in 176.4/192 kHz mode for older D/A Converters. The bit transparency of the player software on the computer can be checked with the INT202.

• The INT203 is for bidirectional interfacing between AES/EBU and Firewire and also includes an infrared remote control for volume and absolute polarity. The bit transparency of the player software on the computer can be checked. The INT203 can serve as an input to the computer, e.g. to connect an A/D Converter for transferring vinyl records.

“It’s easy to install, easy to use and very easy to like. (…) An essential component if you want PC audio to sound its best.”
