KRELL CONNECT

摘要

Krell's choice of a BridgeCo-based StreamUnlimited network audio platform stands the Connect in good stead, for the player will render 24-bit WAV and FLAC files up to 192kHz while also handling 32-bit floating-point files in the WAV format. The technical performance of all format types was glitchless and identical, even with the jitter test which yielded 100psec (48kHz). 65psec (96kHz) and 105psec (192kHz) across the board. The nature of the jitter, a low-rate (5Hz) pattern from 5Hz-80Hz, was also consistent regardless of file type or sample rate [see Graph 2, below]. These figures are very low but, if they were eliminated completely, might add that extra percent of stereo focus and sharpness in the most revealing of systems.
