User manual AUDIO ANALOGUE CRESCENDO CD

[. . . ] We have realized a fourth order active output filter that, together with the one pole filter inside the DAC, forms a fifth order output one. Such a high order (usually found only in really very expensive products!) has permitted us to increase the cut off frequency of the output filter with very good results on the audio performance of the unit expecially for the increased precision of the listening stage. The problem of this approach is the added distortion and noise due to the number of stages the sound has to pass through but Audio Analogue has used all its experience and technology to carefully design every element of the stage choosing every passive component to reduce the overall distortion and noise with astonishing results!
