MUSICBOOK:20 DSD
The musicbook:20 DSD is identically constructed to the musicbook:10
DSD, but has also an integrated streamer which can be comfortably
operated via the musicbook: app and offers a lot of great features such
as the onboard TIDAL and Qobuz streaming catalogs or native DSD
playback. As a side note, it is also a USB digital-to-analog converter with
a superb sound quality, which enables the music reproduction from the
computer in studio mastering quality. Resolutions of up to 384 kHz PCM
and DSD 256 are easily handled.
But the musicbook:20 DSD can do a lot more. The integrated analog
preamp, which also doubles as an excellent headphone amp, allows the
connection of a phono preamp and thus offers a consummate audiophile
quality also with vinyl records.
In terms of technology the musicbook:20 DSD is definitely way ahead of
the competition. Using a sophisticated recalculation all digital audio
signals are converted into DSD 128/256, a data format which is highly
esteemed by audiophiles worldwide. Thus the actual digital-analog
conversion is reduced to a mere filtering of the DSD signal. This
completely new approach is the secret behind the musicbook’s
exceptionally good sound.
