DIGITAL FRONT END / STREAMER
The purpose of the MPS-X is to separate digital sources from the sensitive circuits of the DAC. For this it uses:
PLINK, a high quality and proprietary fiber optical link to the DAC for galvanic separation. PLINK supports all sample rates for PCM and DSD natively.
PDFAS, a proprietary technology to buffer all digital inputs and dramatically reduce any clock jitter. While all our products have this technology already built in, adding a second layer in the MPS-X increases the sonic performance even more.
separate chassis with high quality linear power supply for physical separation
In addition the MPS-X provides streaming connections from the internet, network attached storage and Roon based server systems (Roon-ready), carefully removes any incoming jitter by Playback Designs’ proprietary clocking and buffering system and then encodes all data natively to either the standard Coax, AES outputs or the Playback Designs proprietary PLINK output.
Digital inputs:
USB (PCM up to 384kHz, DSD up to 11.2MHz)
Streaming (Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, vTuner, NAS, Roon-ready)
PLINK for all native sample rates, supports recording
AES (PCM up to 192kHz, DSD via DoP)
Coax (PCM up to 192kHz, DSD via DoP)
TosLink (PCM up to 96kHz)
Digital Outputs:
PLINK
AES
Coax
Clock Generator:
Newest generation PDFAS clocking technology for ultra low jitter performance
Software update:
Firmware upgradeable by end user
Never leave a product behind.
True to their promise to their customers to always offer upgrade paths wherever possible for their existing Playback Designs products, Playback Designs are now offering a second generation accessory interface that allows all their products to be upgraded with the latest features in digital streaming and file playback. Some of their Edelweiss and Dream Series products already have the option for these features to be built into them, but with the new external MPS-X interface these same features can also be added externally to all other Playback Designs products at a level of quality never heard before.
For instance, the combination of the Dream DAC MPD-8 or the Edelweiss DAC MPD-6 and this MPS-X interface is a perfect and efficient package for customers who want to primarily stream their music from the internet and play files from local storage at the best possible performance.
“Playback Designs MPD-6 and MPS-X deliver on all fronts, clearly showcasing what the best digital devices of the 21st century have to offer. They tick all the audiophile boxes, but they also tick music lovers’ ones, which is not always quite the same. ”
