The B.dac is reference D/A converter. Its design is the result of a global reflection involving a search for perfection in the possible synergies between the best available components. Its perfect balance and absence of coloration allow the B.dac to be integrated into any existing audio system. The recordings are sublimated, benefiting from an increased finesse no matter the musical style. The B.dac incorporates patented SJR “Source Jitter Removal” technology. This unique process totally eliminates the temporal inaccuracies that are inherent to digital signal transmission. It provides the best possible D/A conversion, from every source. Reflecting its exclusivity the B.dac relies on a modern and sleek design. The machined aluminium front panel integrates high quality ball-bearing mounted rotary knobs. The B.dac features two distinct toroidal transformers: one designated for the digital domain, and another for the analog domain. To prevent any risk of interference, there is one dedicated regulation per stage (DSP, clock, DAC, output stages, DC servo, etc.) Carefully designed upsampling filters are a must have on any high performance DAC.
The B.dac makes use of a custom designed convolution engine implemented in a built-in DSP dedicated to this task. This permits to implement an in-house developed linear phase filter with reduced pre-ringing artifacts, preserving the transient response. To keep the accuracy of the signal shape, low phase deviation filters are implemented. This results in preserving dynamics and micro-information.
The founding team is composed of two brothers, both engineers, Cédric and Sébastien, supported by their father Gérard who transmitted to them his passion for music and technology.Cédric is an expert in electronics and signal processing, with a wide experience in the design of precision measuring equipment for electrical networks.Sébastien has worked on numerous Research and Development projects, notably at Mercedes-Benz, and has specific expertise in the area of tuning and testing.B.audio is located in east of France, in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards.
