Pink Faun I2S Bridge
Due to delivery problems of our 'standard' OCXO clock, we can currently supply the I2S bridge with TCXO or Ultra OCXO clocks only.
Computers are increasingly used in high-quality audio reproduction. The major advantage of a computer versus an embedded system is the great freedom and upgrade possibilities that a computer offers. In addition, computers are often equipped with powerful processors for easy processing of DSD streams, DSP settings and/or upsampling.
There are more and more manufacturers who use computer technology in their digital playback devices. Though, the built-in DAC in computers (part of the motherboard) is not sufficient enough to realize a high-quality digital to analog conversion. An external DAC is necessary. The Pink Faun I2S bridge realizes a high-quality I2S (PCM) connection between the music computer and the DAC. The Pink Faun I2S bridge also works as a filter to eliminate as many negative effects from the computer as possible and to allow a digital signal that is as clean as possible.
We recommend our very own Pink Faun I2S cable for use with the this bridge. This combination makes for a playback that is as airy and fluid as it is natural and detailed. You can read about our I2S Cable here.
