Features

@ 
ONKYO 
Single-Bit 
D/A 
Converters 
instead 
of 
the 
“muiti-bit” 
D/A 
converters 
employed 
in 
many 
CD 
players, 
the 
DX-708 
and 
DX-706 
use 
an 
innovative 
“single-bit” 
system. 
It 
does 
away 
with 
the 
jadder 
network 
required 
by 
conventional 
“high-bit” 
converters 
and, 
therefore, 
needs 
none 
of 
the 
delicate 
“trimming” 
which 
such 
networks 
require 
to 
achieve 
even 
adequate 
linearity. 
The 
operating 
principle 
of 
the 
sing/e 
bit 
system 
assures 
far 
better 
linearity 
than 
conventional 
D/A 
converters 
can 
ever 
achieve. 
@ 
Zero 
Shift 
Noise 
Shaper 
The 
noise 
attenuation 
characteristics 
produced 
by 
the 
digital 
feedback 
configurations 
used 
in 
conventional 
noise 
shapers 
are 
marked 
by 
@ 
continuous 
reduction 
from 
the 
high 
frequency 
range 
down 
through 
the 
low 
frequencies. 
In 
contrast 
to 
this. 
ONKYO’s 
new 
Zero 
shift 
Noise 
Shaper 
employs 
a 
different 
feedback 
factor 
to 
produce 
not 
a 
continuous 
siope, 
but 
an 
attenuation 
pattern 
in 
which 
noise 
is 
reduced 
to 
zero 
in 
the 
middle 
of 
the 
frequency 
range. 
The 
practical 
effect 
of 
this 
modification 
is 
a 
measurable 
reduction 
in 
residual 
noise 
in 
the 
audio 
frequency 
range, 
compared 
with 
con- 
ventional 
designs. 
The 
resulting 
improvement 
in 
the 
CD 
player's 
S/N 
ratio 
means 
more 
dynamic 
music 
reproduction, 
allowing 
the 
listener 
to 
hear 
delicate 
nuances 
which 
might 
have 
been 
missed 
otherwise. 
ONKYO’s 
Zero 
Shift 
Noise 
Shaper 
heightens 
the 
smail 
signal 
fidelity 
of 
the 
single-bit 
D/A 
conversion 
process 
for 
improved 
musicality 
with 
any 
program 
source.

In

the 
central

of

serves 
to 
divide 
the

circuit

into 
two 
discrete 
sections. 
The 
DX- 
708 
is 
even 
equipped 
with 
separate 
power 
supplies 
for 
the 
two 
sections, 
offering 
further 
protection 
against 
mutual

This
