Interessant nok har den også en digitalkonverter integrert. Som utvider bruksområdet betraktelig. Da kan man nemlig digitalisere lydsignalet fra platespillerens pickup, og få ut et 24-bit/192 kHz høyoppløst digitalsignal som man kan ta opp og spille av fra en CD eller harddisk.
Hvis man ikke trenger riaa-trinn, men kunne tenke seg en forforsterker med digitalkonverter integrert, finnes også Burmester 099 Preamp. En forforsterker med seks digitale innganger, deriblant USB slik at man kan koble PC-en til anlegget, og nyte godt av høyoppløst signalbehandling med 24-bits oppløsning. Forforsterkeren har også innganger for analog lyd, og både analoge og digitale utganger for å sende signalet videre.
Info fra pressemeldingen:
Burmester 100:
· Up to two balanced phono inputs (XLR 3pol female), MC or MM version available (specify by
order).
· Automatic recognition of the modules (MC or MM) and visualization at the front panel.
· Independent settings for each module which are selectable and automatically saved
(impedance, gain, subsonic, output 0dB / +6dB, auto adjust on/off, etc…)
· Input impedance for MC module selectable (33, 47, 91, 120, 390 and 47k) thus
optimal impedance adjustment possible.
· Input capacitance for MM module selectable (68pF, 120pF, 180pF, 220pF, 300pF and 400pF)
thus optimal capacitance adjustment possible.
· The input impedances are switched by means of high performance audio relays, thus the
shortest possible audio path is achieved.
· The input gain can be selected which assures the best possible volume adjustment of each
and every Phono cartridge:
o MM: 37dB, 40dB, 43dB, 46dB, 49dB, 52dB,
o MC: 57dB, 60dB, 63dB, 66dB, 69dB, 72dB.
· Selectable subsonic filter to reduce large woofer movement due to wavy vinyl records.
· Automatic level adjustment of left and right channel (AUTO ADJUST) to compensate Phono
cartridge tolerances up to 6dB.
· Optional selection between fixed and variable volume output
· One balanced analogue stereo output, XLR 3pol male.
· One unbalanced analogue stereo output, RCA.
· DC coupled signal path assures the best sound reproduction down to the lowest frequencies
without any phase shift in the audible frequency range.
· X-AMP2 output modules with high driving capability feeds even low impedance inputs ideally.
· Output voltage can be boosted by 6dB for devices with a low input sensitivity.
· Output phase may be turned by 180° using a sliding switch on the back panel.
· Optional A/D converter-module with USB and S/P-DIF.
· Two digital outputs, S/P-DIF (RCA) and optical (TOSLINK).
· Sampling frequency of the ADC is selectable between 48kHz/24bit, 96kHz/24bit or
192kHz/24bit.
· Load display of the ADC with analogue audio level meter with dimmable illumination.
· The meter can either display the left channel only, or the right channel only, or the mono sum
of both channels.
· Illumination of the meter selectable
· In addition to the analogue level meter a fast responding overflow LED for short peak overflow
indication is provided.
· The internal power supply features very low standby power consumption (<1W)
· remote power up of other devices possible by means of the DC IN/OUT connection.
· Optional BURLINK module for external control via RS232 or USB.
· Carbon fibre feet reduce micro phonic effects.
· Burmester remote control included.
Burmester 099:
balanced analogue inputs (XLR 3pol. female, combo jack), can be used as
unbalanced inputs via adapter for 6.3 mm jack to RCA
· 6 digital inputs (2x RCA, 3x TORX, 1x USB) for the connection of a multitude of
digital sources, like digital satellite receivers, gaming consoles or computers
· 1 balanced analogue output, XLR 3pol. Male, phase reversible
· 1 unbalanced analogue output, cinch, phase reversible
· 4 digital outputs (2x RCA, 2x TORX), mirroring the selected digital input at all outputs
· 1 headphone jack (6,3 mm) + 1 RCA for the connection of headphone preamplifiers
or wireless headphones. The MUTE function can be controlled via remote
· DC-coupled signal path without capacitors resulting in a precise bass reproduction
due to the nonexistence of phase shift in the audible range
· Input sensitivity selectable by -8 dB to +8 dB for the compensation of different
volumes of sources
· Sampling rate for D/A conversion can be selected between 96kHz/24bit and
192kHz/24bit
· The internal power supply features a very low standby power consumption (<1W) –
Burmester goes GREEN
· Remote power up of other devices possible by means of the DC IN/OUT connection
· Can be updated due to modular design
· User friendly handling
· Burmester remote control included
