Ideon Audio EOS DAC
Breakthrough technology from the Absolute and IΩN series: an affordable reference DAC
The Ideon Audio EOS DAC utilizes trickle-down technologies and R&D gained from our extensive work mostly with our IΩN DAC and our flagship Absolute Epsilon, which has set new standards worldwide. Many of the IΩN DAC’s innovations and designs are found in the IΩN in its own scale.
As with all Ideon offerings, the eos DAC is a fully proprietary design, with audio technologies developed in-house. A bespoke handcrafted product housing an innovative combination of high-performance design features and best-of-breed quality components.
HyperStream, 8-channels architecture with proprietary, cutting-edge analog stage
- High output impedance at -120 dB SNR, quad current output from DAC
- Upgradable DAC and USB input engine
- Cutting edge analog stage, with symmetrical ultra-low noise power supply – in a unique topology
- Low-noise power through, more than 10 different separate power regulators in the circuit.
- Direct coupled output with no capacitors in the output stage.
- In-House fully balanced design throughout.
Proprietary Triple Distillation USB input: Noise Elimination
Found in most of our DACs, conceived and designed in-house, the Ideon Audio Triple Distillation USB input comprises a proprietary three-stage noise eradication circuit that eliminates digital noise from the input signal.
Our experience from the making of the Absolute Espislon DAC has been now transfered to the eos DAC as well. Figuratively speaking, we have declared war on linear & non-linear distortion and noise.
Clock Oscillators: Getting the Music in Phase
The eos DAC shares some of the same oscillators used in our IΩN Dac. It deploys three top-of-the-line femto ultra-low jitter and ultra-low phase noise clocks in a no-compromise architecture; precision and resulting phase fidelity of the signal is ensured. Each clock has its own dedicated power line.
