The D/A has no low-frequency filtering and may be used to drive DC signals for generating CV signals for analog synths. The A/D/A converters in the ULN-8 are DC-coupled to the analog I/O stages so they introduce extremely low phase distortion. You choose where and when your signal is processed. In other words, the ULN-8 doesn’t distort the distortion. And if you add euphonic distortion with an analog loop, you can be sure that the results will be captured accurately. By accurately reproducing your input, the ULN-8 3d allows you to properly capture the nuance of your sources, whether they be mics, tape decks or classic analog gear.Īccurate conversion means that when you monitor your production, you actually hear what you will deliver - not some approximation with euphonic distortions introduced by your monitoring chain. The analog converters in the ULN-8 provide mastering grade conversion that “simply gets out of the way.” Metric Halo’s converter philosophy is to come as close to the original analog signal as possible converters should not color your signal. As any system can be no better than it’s weakest link, it is vitally important that the component you use to capture and render all of your audio is not the weakest link in your system.

As all of these interact with each other in nonlinear ways, it is the system that determines the performance, and not any of the individual parts. Excellent audio conversion requires careful attention to detail and the tuning of every element of the entire conversion system this includes the analog front end, the power system, the clock and the converter chip itself. You can’t simply look at the converter chip and determine how something is going to sound. No matter how good the DSP is, if your converters don’t capture (or render) your audio accurately you are starting at a deficit.Īudio conversion is something that is more than the sum of its parts. If the conversion is not up to snuff, you might as well toss the product out the window - as the best you can hope for is that it doesn’t damage your precious audio (or reputation) too much.
