miniDSP ADept USB Connector

Audiophiler Analog-Digital-Wandler (A/D)

Flexibler Phono-Vorverstärker mit digitaler Signalverarbeitung (DSP)

SPDIF & TOSLINK für die computerlose Digitalisierung

123 dB SNR / -117 dB THD+N maximale Leistung


The miniDSP ADept is a compact high-resolution A/D (analog-to-digital) convertor that accepts single-ended (RCA) or balanced (on XLR) audio signals. The digital output is available on SPDIF coaxial and TOSLINK optical connectors, and can also be recorded to a computer or mobile device via the USB-C connector. Adept combines low latency, high sample rate and extremely low noise floor performance to provide optimal digitization of your favorite analog audio content.

The miniDSP ADept is also a phono preamp (with a turntable connected to the RCA inputs) with accurate phono equalization for moving magnet or moving coil cartridges. In addition to the standard RIAA phono equalization curves, we've used the power of DSP to provide additional curves that will be of interest to the keen collector of older vinyl. A range of input gain, resistance and capacitance values are provided to optimize for any cartridge and can easily be saved and recalled in your favorite preset.

miniDSP once again innovates with audiophile performance in a package that doesn’t break the bank.
