And the DAC wars keep heating up ;)

On the drawing board is our next Revision(D) of the main DSP board which now features an upgraded ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) from the existing 24 bit TI part to the Flagship ES9822PRO 32 bit ESSTech ADC. The ES9822PRO ADC features ESS proprietary Hyperstream II ADC Architecture, which delivers unprecedented conversion performance and yields top notch specs of 124 dB DNR and -117 dB THD+Noise. The ES9822PRO has an Ultra-Low Noise Floor Bandwidth of 200kHz. This bandwidth is up to 10 times wider than the competition, enabling higher resolution at higher sampling rates and along with the ESS 8-channel ES9038PRO Sabre DAC and our own onboard FEMTO master clock providing infinitesimal jitter we are certain this should satisfy the most fastidious analog aficionados who are into vinyl or reel-to-reel playback !

Two more Ultimate Preamps being put through their paces and thoroughly tested before shipping. One UPP ear-marked for Vietnam and one UP2 earmarked for Germany ;)

Another UP2 in the bench being tested waiting to go off to a lucky customer who lives local to us. He had been trialing a UP1 for quite sometime in anticipation of the UP2. He finally gets to evaluate it and put it through its paces ;)

Another eight DSP boards assembled ready for programming and testing. These boards are the heart of the Ultimate Preamplifier and contain the high quality 8-channel DAC as well as the DSP hardware used to drive them. Not only that, this board controls the whole preamp including the front panel controls and LCD as well as all of the audio peripheral switching and source routing. There is lots going on here with this board ;)

Nothing worse than having to deal with a corporate bully throwing their weight around and trying to stifle free speech and intelligent debate all because they somehow think their rights to profit from selling unsubstantiated audio junk to the gullible public makes them immune from scrutiny and criticism. I have had my fair share of dealings with them so I can sympathize wholeheartedly with Audioholics on this front. All I can say is hang in there and don't let them push you around. Anyway the late John Dunlavy of Duntech and Dunlavy fame always said he would never use any of their products with his speakers simply because he did not want them to take credit for all of the work he had done to make his speakers sound great ;)

Synergistic Research is a company specializing in scam cables and audio tweaks based on pseudoscience like Foundation. Ted Denney publicly mocked my COVID-19 situation and threatened Audioholics.
