Q5™ Upsampler

Q5 follows in ANAGRAM's tradition of delivering technology that creates spacious, richly detailed sound from any digital audio source. It offers significant improvement in terms of performance, flexibility, and compatibility with audio formats over generic SRCs and is based on the latest generation Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter which incorporates ATF™ providing superior imaging and jitter rejection, industry leading 384kHz conversion, and SACD processing. Support for both DSD and PCM audio data formats up to 24bit / 192kHz is provided and dual 384kHz capable DACs in dual mono-mode configuration can be driven at the same time as a downsampled digital output.

At the heart of Q5's superior audio performance is ATF™ and Q5™ Upsampling technology that allows digital audio signals from virtually any audio source to be resampled, resynchronized and retimed to extraordinary levels of detail. In effect, upsampling the digital data stream (up to 384kHz) allows existing “standard” CDs to have the enhanced audio clarity, richness and dynamic range that would normally be associated with SACD or DVD-A disks “upgrading” the tremendous investment that has already been made in high quality CD recordings.
