Electrocompaniet: If music really matters
Here's all the info on it.
The ECD1 is a 24-bit/192 kHz upsampling DAC that incorporates the same conversion technology as the upgraded EMC1 CD Player (without the transport functionality) and costs $3000 less. For those already possessing a transport or CD player with a digital output, the ECD1 is an excellent choice. Regardless of the input signal type (16 - 24-bit is supported), the ECD1 will upsample the source to 24-bit resolution with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz. The increased resolution provides a much greater level of detail with less noise than traditional (non-upsampling) CD players and DACs. In addition to the 24-bit/192 kHz D/A conversion process, the ECD1 utilizes a completely balanced class-A design for each channel that is responsible for a high level of digital noise cancellation.
The DAC is housed in a simple and elegant chassis similar to other Electrocompaniet products. The face has two buttons, one for power and another to select the input source. Typical of many DACs, the ECD1 does not have user selectable modes to set or disable the upsampling rate nor does it have any visual indicators for the input signal type or to verify that a signal is present. The input section of the ECD1 can support up to four input sources: 1 XLR (AES/EBU), 2 RCA (S/PDIF) and 1 Optical (Toslink). The original digital input signal can be passed back though the ECD1's two digital outputs, 1 optical and 1 Toslink. The digital output feature provides flexibility and support for different configurations. The analogue output section provides support for both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) equipment.
