QUAD Platinum Serie
26.10.2014
Platinum is the pinnacle of QUAD design, a series of CD/DAC
Pre and Power amplifiers that provides everything you need,
bar the loudspeakers, to replay music recordings
as they were meant to be heard – naturally.
Platinum is the flagship of the QUAD range, a new set of
electronics from a brand
that has been famous for quality amplification since 1936.
Like all QUAD designs, Platinum’s purpose is the ‘closest
approach to the
original sound’ – in Platinum’s case closer than ever before.
At the heart of the Platinum system is the DMP CD
player/DAC/preamplifier –
a highly advanced unit technically that has one aim in mind,
to reproduce digital audio in its purest form.
Whether your music is stored on silver disc,
on your computer or
streamed from the internet,
the Platinum DMP will deliver it with incredible accuracy.
Platinum DMP DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) uses twin
24bit/192kHz converters in double differential mode.
This is tuned to handle music files from CD up to ultra High
Definition with minimum jitter and absolute accuracy.
Each source mode can be named and selected via the remote
handset so you are always in control of your music.
Features:
- DAC: Crystal CS4398
- Upgradable Software
- PC and MAC Compatible
- Die Cast Aluminium Body
- Complete Remote Compatibility
Specification:
DAC Crystal CS4398
I/V conversion 24-bit/19kHz delta sigma
Output voltage RCA unbalanced (fixed / variable)
2.42V / 0 ~ 4.1V
XLR balanced (fixed /
variable)
2.44V / 0 ~ 4.1V
Output impedance 100 Ohms
Frequency response 20 - 20kHz (+/-5dB)
S/N ratio >104dB
Digital inputs 3 SPDIF (RCA)
3 optical (TosLink)
1 USB with asynchronous data
processing
Digital outputs 1optical (TosLink)
1 BNC
1 RCA
1 AES/EBU
Analogue output 1 set of RCA sockets & 1set of XLR sockets
Dimensions (W x H x D) 380 x 160 x 400 (mm)
The power amp in question here is the Platinum Stereo, only
slightly boxy in its dimensions in the manner of past Quad
amplifiers, and capable of 140W per channel, using what Quad
describes as ‘a large number of output transistors, each one
driven from its own driver transistor to maximise linearity.
