Five switchable digital inputs — AES, S\/PDIF, ADAT, TOSLINK, and bi-directional USB — feed an analog front end and reconstruction filters personally tuned by Chris Muth, and Dangerous Music publishes actual measured specifications rather than theoretical numbers from a chip manufacturer's datasheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB Uplink: a two-way bridge between a digital source and the DAW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB Uplink technology routes the signal arriving at the AES\/SPDIF-2 input back through the USB cable straight into a DAW session, so any digital source — a CD transport, another converter, a streaming device — can be captured without connecting a separate audio interface just to grab the reference. Instant switching between monitoring the original digital signal and the Uplinked version lets you add finalizing plugins on a DAW return track and immediately compare processed against unprocessed, with no cable swapping or routing changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCalibration and metering built for mastering work, not hi-fi playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree input calibration levels — -14, -16, and -18dBFS — switch with one front-panel button rather than being locked in permanently at the factory, as on many professional converters. Peak-over-average metering, the kind found on expensive outboard mastering meters, calibrates automatically to whichever reference level is selected, and a three-consecutive-sample-over indicator warns when the signal is approaching a CD-spec violation. The output pot can be bypassed entirely via a relay by turning it fully clockwise — useful when CONVERT-2 is working alongside an external monitor controller and volume control needs to happen elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive switchable digital inputs: AES, S\/PDIF, ADAT, TOSLINK, USB (bi-directional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB Uplink technology for capturing the AES\/SPDIF-2 signal straight into the DAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic sample-rate detection, range 44.1-192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree input calibration levels: -14, -16, -18dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak-over-average metering with automatic calibration to the reference level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-consecutive-sample-over indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput pot with a full relay-bypass option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low-jitter JetPLL clocking, three clock modes: Normal, External, Master\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWord Clock input\/thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegration with the MONITOR-ST remote for remote digital input selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog outputs: 2x XLR, balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted), 20Hz-20kHz: better than 114dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (unweighted), 20Hz-20kHz: better than 113dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range (A-weighted\/unweighted): better than 114dB \/ 113dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N at 1kHz, +4dBu output: below 0.00188% (94.5dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N at 1kHz, +22dBu output: below 0.00048% (106.5dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response @96kHz: to 20kHz +0\/-0.25dB, to 30kHz +0\/-0.5dB, to 40kHz +0\/-1.0dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJitter: 16ps (100Hz-40kHz), 18ps (100Hz-1MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk rejection: greater than 114dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54195221725521,"sku":"25543","price":3575.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/DangerousMusicCONVERT-21.jpg?v=1783607761","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/dangerous-music-convert-2","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
