DAT3: Innovative Patented Bluetooth Digital Output Player/DAC

ACCURATE High Definition Bluetooth Technology

 

Make Bluetooth truly HIFI!

 

 

Technical characteristics

 

  • Adopts Accurate Bluetooth technology
  • Support native 32k~192khz lIS+MCLK
  • Adopts flagship CS43198 chip
  • Using D300REF reference grade materials
  • Industry reference grade 50PS transition jitter, high-performance digital output
  • Different from traditional Bluetooth solution, the sound reaches the level of high-performance HIFI digital player and CD player.

 

Why are current HIFI Bluetooth DACs not good enough?

Bad lIS+ master clock with jitter as high as ~200ps, which causes the HIFI DAC to not perform as well as it should be.

 

Like a TV optical output connected to a Hi-end class DAC.

 

Accurate Bluetooth Patent Just to Make Bluetooth Sound Better

 

After six years of research and development, SOUNDAWARE was granted a Bluetooth patent in 2019 and named it “ACCURATE”

 

(Patent No.: CN214900869U)

 

Through the in-depth development of the Bluetooth 5.X module, the data from the Bluetooth module is taken out through an additional audio module and a high-performance audio frequency clock, and then the high-performance audio module generates a high-quality master clock signal and IlS based on the high-performance audio frequency clock.

 

 

The jitter of the master clock output of the consumer Bluetooth module is ~200PS, while the jitter of the audio master clock of this scheme is ≤5PS.

 

Key indicators

 

  • THD+N:~0.0003%
  • SNR:-130db
  • dynamic range:127db
  • Master clock 200ps-->~5ps-50ps
  • IIS BCK～50ps

 

*Test index at 20~20KHz

 

DAT3 integrates high-performance digital and analog outputs

 

RCA analog outputs, coaxial/optical digital outputs available

 

Integration of industry reference level high performance IIS to SPDIF output circuitry, chip background jitter to industry reference level of 50ps.

 

 

Adopts the flagship DA chip CS43198 from Cirrus Logic, the industry's leading HIFI manufacturer.

 

  • THD+N:115db
  • Dynamic range: 130db
  • Bottom noise: ~600nv

 

 

The DAT3 utilizes a high precision, low noise, high-end custom audio clock system that is only used in flagship products.

*Test index at 20~20KHz

 

Important: Because DAT3 uses high-performance audio aluminum electrolytic, laminated film capacitors and other components, so it needs a certain amount of time to burn-in to get a better sound. Therefore, it is recommended that when using the new DAT3, it should be burned in for about three days and three nights.
