The Solaris Quantum Digital-to-Analog Converter is the fifth generation of Crane Song’s tried-and-true Solaris line. With every revision being upgraded, improved, and battle-tested, this Dave Hill design is one of the most accurate 2-channel D/A converters we’ve seen here at Sweetwater. Designed around a 32-bit converter and 32-bit ASRC (asynchronous sample rate converter) with jitter-reduction upsampling to 211kHz, the Solaris Quantum delivers pristine, transparent conversion up to 192kHz. The reference clock boasts sub-picosecond jitter and uses a proprietary reconstruction filter for accurate time-domain response.

Specifications:

  • Pristine, transparent conversion up to 192kHz
  • 32-bit converter and 32-bit ASRC with jitter-reduction upsampling to 211kHz
  • Inputs: AES, S/PDIF, TOSlink, and USB
  • Main stereo balanced output fed by discrete amplifiers with stepped attenuator
  • Secondary balanced output with maximum fixed output of +18dBu
  • Headphone amplifier with stepped attenuator
  • Mute switch cuts main outputs (Solaris powers up muted)
  • Front-panel LCD displays source, gain, sample rate, and L/R level meters
  • Reference clock with sub-picosecond jitter and proprietary reconstruction filter
  • Typical clock jitter measurement: 0.045pS (10Hz–20kHz)
