Hello, I am ASAI in the Osu shop. A regrettable thing occurred though I wanted to do the listening comparison of Levinson's 380L and 380SL. 380SL has sold. In haste, I decided to do "How about unit D/A converter?". I was personally anxious about it before. I am expecting to become a content that it benefits you and me. ASAI Ryutaro |

This test machine is D-700 of TEAC. It is D/A converter of the sale for 1992 years, 4DAC 20 bit compositions, and over sampling eight times. A fixed price at that time is 100,000 yen (A present used price of our shop is 52,290 yen). The CD player compared with it is DCD-S10_3 of DENON. DCD-S10_3 is a state-of-the-art machine of the sale in 2000 when original D/A technology ALPHA processing 24 was installed. Really it has the ability of which unit D/A can compete with CD player comes to be worried , considering ten years of the digital world. |

I opened the top board of D-700. This is a surprise. A digital route and an analog circuit are completely separated. The two sided shield base is used also for the base, and a luxurious making only unit D/A is done. By the way, a rear panel is copper plating. |
|
The following are DCD-S10_3. It is a even sticking to that consideration not to influence an analog area harmfully dividing an analog and a digital transformer is done. (D-700 is a complete separation to nature. ) However, it cannot be helped located closely to a digital base of an analog base for a still spatial limitation. |

Well, it is an audition. What result do it really become? |
|
Still, DCD-S10_3 is terrible. The sound rings in detail, and delicately. Cymbals of jazz scatter in detail. Piano touch is sharp. The base has a sense of existence. Really, can the meaning that puts up as much as one D-700 be found? I have become uneasy a little. |

D-700 finally ties to S10_3. Reproduction. It is different what it is. (Though it is natural. ) However, it has not understood what is different at once. There are two whats noticed while getting information by inquiring many times. First, S/N is high. Secondarily, it seems to be analog. I felt the sound place quiet down clearly when D-700 was put up. And, it is lost as digital. I think that a polite way to make appeared in the sound. DCD-S10_3 in fact has a spatial limitation. You might be knowing. Logic "The old one is bad, and the new one is good" doesn't apply to the world of audio. In the digital world, too. After all,it is necessary to be made by it taking care with. It is important. It is a conclusion obtained by this e-mail magazine. Let's meet by the then and next e-mail magazine. |
