Award-Winning Pedigree
Dangerous has been building award-winning converters since 2002. Eager to develop a new DAC, Dangerous brought in Chris Muth and Paul Messick into the deisgn. These two world-renowned experts made sure from the low-pass filtering on the analog side, to the JetPLL ultralow-jitter digital clocking everything has been refined to deliver a supremely musical, yet transparent performance.
Hi-Fi Analog Signal Path
Renowned designer Chris Muth developed the audiophile-grade analog audio path for the CONVERT-2, meticulously fine-tuning the low-pass reconstruction filters that sit at the heart of any DAC. These filters are necessary for a DAC to function well and extra care has been paid to them here.
Artfully Digital
Dangerous brought in digital guru Paul Messick to ensure the digital circuitry of the CONVERT-2 matches its finely tuned analog circuit. Paul refined the CONVERT s JetPLL ultralow-jitter clocking technology until it virtually eliminated jitter in the audio band and beyond, resulting in a clearer sound with less ear fatigue.
Jitter Elimination Technology
Many digital audio systems are synced to the best-sounding clock in the rack, and Dangerous hopes you ll choose the CONVERT-2 as the master clock for this reason. Simply use the Word Clock output and set the CONVERT-2 into Master mode from the front panel, and all the digital gear in your studio will benefit from The CONVERT-2 s Jitter Elimination Technology.
Instant Input Calibration
The device sports industry-standard reference levels of -14, -16, and -18 dBFS, so you can recalibrate the CONVERT-2 with the push of a button. While many professional converters are only aligned at the factory, the CONVERT-2 lets you move flexibly between different reference levels on the fly. Anyone who s ever fumbled around behind a rack while a second person watches an external meter knows the special value of our front-panel calibration buttons, especially when there are eight channels from which to work.
Automatic Sample Rate Detection
Simply select Auto on the front panel and the CONVERT-2 will match its sample rate to the input signal. If you ve ever started working at the wrong sample rate, you ll know why this feature can be so important. If you re swapping among different DAW sessions at different sample rates, the CONVERT-2 will follow your every move. No more horrible jump-scares in the form of horrendously distorted audio.
On-the-Fly Input Switching
The CONVERT-2 lets you swap between multiple digital inputs on the fly from the front-panel buttons. No more digging into elaborate menus and system settings just to listen to iTunes, and no more rerouting software drivers just to hear a different output. Because the CONVERT-2 can automatically lock to the incoming signal s sample rate, you don t need to even think about sample rates as you switch between inputs.
A Multitude of I/O Options
Four digital inputs include USB, AES/SPDIF, ADAT and Optical SPDIF (TOSLINK). WC in and out are provided. Connections to the analog world are made possible by two XLR outputs. Furthermore, AES throughputs are on hand for routing digital signal to external gear like digital meters.
Extensive and Useful Metering
The CONVERT-2 offers the type of peak-over-average metering typically found in expensive outboard mastering meters. The meter automatically calibrates to the chosen input reference level, giving you consistent visuals on every project. A further enhancement is Dangerous Music s 3-word-over indicator, which tells you when three consecutive samples have clipped, meaning you re a breath away from violating industry standards for CD reproduction.
Whether you want this clipping or not is up to you, but at least you have a reliable indicator for clipping in the CONVERT-2.
Monitor ST Connectivity
Simply hook up the device to Dangerous Music s award-winning MONITOR-ST/SR Remote to the rear-panel ports, and you ve got best-in-class desktop remote control over the CONVERT s front-panel input selectors. Add the CONVERT-2 to your existing MONITOR-ST/SR rig for seamless integration of a quality DAC into your surround monitoring system.
