ARMATURE HECATE LT USB SPDIF Interface XMOS Xcore 208 Asynchronous TCXO - OTG
Armature now offers its excellent USB SPDIF XMOS interface in a simplified version, but always very powerful, allowing to propose it at a contained price. An excellent digital interface with a very good quality / price ratio!
This latest generation XMOS Xcore U208 processor has 4 times the computing power of the old XMOS U8.
The result: a higher definition combined with a very low jitter.
XMOS chips are a reference in USB interface and are now widely recognized in the audiophile world.
At Armature a simplified version is not necessarily an entry-level version. Thus, the design of this interface remains as optimized and the realization extremely careful.
The power supply part is based on low noise, fast response LDO controllers. The board is powered by 2 independent LDOs and the clock part uses an ultra-low noise regulator, this design provides a solid foundation for ultimate performance.
The PCB is built on 4 layers allowing a separation of the ground planes of the power supply part and the signal part. Particular attention has been paid to the design of the high frequency tracks, particularly concerning the clock signal, to avoid any interference.
The Hecate LT also incorporates an ultra-low phase noise TCXO clock from Japan KDS. Its accuracy is 2PPM and jitter less than 0.5PS.
Excellent performance can be expected from this interface for high fidelity playback. The Jitter of the final map was measured at 4.6ps.
With the same compact size as the classic Hecate, it also features the elegant 100% Aluminium case. This effectively protects the components from external interference and disturbance while giving the device a sober, elegant and modern appearance.
