AccuBit

Converters
The
Onkyo
AccBit
D
/
A
converters
featured
in
the
DX
-
1800
and
DX
-
1400
employ
advanced
technology
first
used
in
professional
digital
recorders
to
ensure
that the
digital
-
to
-
analog
conversion
is
as
accurate
as
possible
They
are
enhanced
by
error
compensation
circuitry
which
suppresses
extremely
low level
elements
.
This results
in
a radical
improvement
in
the
linearity
of
low level
signals
and
results
in
warmer
,
more natural sound
.
Delicate
nuances

might
have missed
with

CD
player

Converters
The
DX
-
1800
and
DX
-
1400
feature
separate
high
-
performance
18
-
bit
D
/
A
converters
or
the left channel
signals
.
This
configuration
eliminates subtle
phase
differences
between the
stereo
channels which could arise
during
the conversion
process
-
especially
in
the
high
treble
frequencies
.
The result
is
crystal
clear
,
precisely
focused
sound
.
8
Times
Oversampling
Digital
Filter
The
DX
1800
and
DX
1400 raise
the
normal
sampling
frequency
of
44.1 kHz
to
352.8
kHz
-
eight
times the conventional
rate
.
This has the
effect of
raising
the
point
at
which
quantization
noise
begins
well
into
the
upper
reaches
of
the
ultrasonic
range
,
far
beyond
the
highest
audible
frequencies
. An
analog
low
-
pass
filter
with
a
gentle
cutoff
slope
can
then be used
to
clear
up
remnants
,
avoiding
phase
deviation
in
the
upper
treble
range
.
