MUSICIAN TAURUS DAC R2R

Musician Taurus: proprietary digital filter technology

The Taurus DAC uses digital filter technology operating in Over Sampling 16x mode. Each filter level has a 32-bit input resolution, enabling a considerable increase in dynamic range and a natural, delicate sound reproduction.

Musician Taurus: high-end components

The combination of components selected by Musician for its R2R Taurus DAC delivers exceptional performance. 

R2R array

Each channel is equipped with two Panasonic resistor networks, each with a dedicated FPGA. This ensures very low levels of noise and distortion.

Thermostatic crystal oscillators (OCXO)

Thermostatic crystal oscillators provide outstanding frequency stability for extremely low jitter decoding.

Altera FGPA chip

Altera's main FPGA chip is used to shorten the signal path and avoid any coloration that might interfere with high-purity sound reproduction.

USB solution

Musician's proprietary USB interface is coupled with an STM32F446 driver chip to support very high-resolution streams.

Pinout I2S

The Musician Taurus has been designed to offer broad compatibility via its I2S input, thanks to phase adjustment accessible as follows:

1. Select I2S-A1 or I2S-A2 input.
2. Press the PHASE button in the I2S pin function setting to switch the I2S pin configuration.
3. Stop the operation once the correct settings are in place, and the Musician Taurus will exit setting mode after 5 seconds.
