Digital-to-analog converter Soulnote D-3. A perfect digital-to-analog converter with zero asynchronous circuits. Connecting a network transport equipped with ZERO LINK creates a network system that is fully synchronized with the clock frequency of the DAC, which allows for significant improvements in sound quality by eliminating asynchronous circuits. The input signal from the ZEROLINK terminals passes through a selector consisting of a mechanical relay that does not add jitter and is connected directly to the DAC chip using a unique circuit for ZERO LINK.
