Antelope Audio Zodiac Platinum DSD256 Upsampling D/A Converter Bundle with Voltikus PSU & 10M Audiophile Atomic Clock

Zodiac Platinum DSD is designed to deliver bit perfect, transparent sound - digital audio that doesn't sacrifice the warmth and fullness typically associated with analog gear.

The Custom designed USB controller chip streams data at 480 Mbits, allowing audio up to 384 kHz with Antelope Audio's ASIO driver for both Mac and PC. Dual-stage headphone driver architecture delivers smooth sound at both high and low levels.

Plus the power that makes the difference: Voltikus is a sleek heavy-duty Power Supply Unit (PSU) designed to perfectly match your Zodiac Platinum DSD D/A Converter. Carefully tailored to deliver uncompromised power, Voltikus helps Zodiac Platinum achieve the punch and sonic richness of deep lows, a full range of mids, and tightly defined highs. This degree of performance is accomplished by incorporating a hefty, custom-wound, electrostatically shielded toroidal transformer followed by a unique concept of three cascaded power regulators. A precision laser-trimmed voltage reference (LT1021) serves as the backbone of this discrete design, achieving the stability impossible with off-the-shelf voltage regulators.

10M is the preferred clock for trendsetting producers, audio engineers, artists and movie post-production studios
The Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock (a.k.a. Baby 10M) is an upgraded and enhanced version of the Antelope's Isochrone 10M, which has become a new industry standard for ensuring audio quality and accurate sound reproduction. Leading producers, sound engineers, artists, and movie post production studios worldwide are using the 10M Atomic Clock together with our high-end Trinity master clock. They usually describe it as "mind-blowing", an "instantaneous improvement", "superior", and fundamental in bringing "more detail, ambiance, and naturalness" to the digital signal. The results are described as "wider and more solid" with "crisp transients and a 3D depth of field." This experience is no longer exclusive to music and film studios. Exactly the same clocking technology and atomic precision is now available to the home audio listener.

10M is Zodiac Platinum's best friend
The Audiophile 10M is especially designed to match the aesthetics of the Zodiac Platinum DSD DAC, which also has a direct 10MHz input. The pair are visually and technically perfect for each other, and together they transfer high-end studio technology directly to the home environment. With the Zodiac Platinum / 10M combo, for the first time ever, the home listener has the chance to experience the music with the same technology it was created with, sounding exactly the way it was meant to by the sound engineers that worked on it.

Use 10M with any device with a 10 MHz (BNC) input and clock two units simultaneously
Bring the original, unspoilt source to your speakers simply by connecting this ultra-accurate 10MHz clock and turning it on. The Zodiac Platinum DSD DAC will automatically switch from its crystal oscillator to the atomic clock reference, still using the 4th generation of Acoustically Focused Clocking algorithm implemented in the DAC, the same as it is in the top level Trinity Master Clock. You can use your Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock with any device that supports 10MHz (BNC) input clock and clock two devices simultaneously.

The 10M Atomic Clock was designed to endure and stay eco-friendly
The Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock is made from only high-grade materials, including a custom-machined aluminum front panel. This sturdy mechanical construction makes it highly resistant to mechanical shocks. The much smaller chassis and heat sink of the Baby 10M, compared to that of its elder brother, is due to the implementation of energy saving technology, allowing three times less power consumption and thus a greatly reduced heat level.
