Crane Song Interstallar AD Converter USB Interface
Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
Product Description
INTERSTELLAR is a stereo ADC using Crane Song's Quantum, sub Pico second clocking technology. Included in Interstellar is dsp emulation for Triode and Pentode tubes, Tape emulation, dithering to 24 or 16 bits and word clock outputs. The Word Clock outputs allow Interstellar to function as a master clock
When used as an USB interface, there is a SPDIF output that can be used to connect to a DAC.
Making Interstellar a USB bi directional interface. In the USB mode the computer will set the sample rate and thus the sample rate of the Word Clock outputs.
The AES, SPDIF and Optical outputs are active and can be used at the same time as the USB connection. The level of the dsp functions is set by front panel controls
When the USB connection is not in use, The clock rate is set by the front panel controls
Precision, Dual-channel Quantum Power
Crane Song's Interstellar A/D converter and master clock provides quintessential Quantum conversion with a faithful analog glow. With robust features like exclusive sub-picosecond jittering, analog dithering process, eight word clock outputs, and the ability to switch between interface and standalone modes, the 2-channel Interstellar provides stunning 32-bit/192kHz DA/AD conversion. Full control over sample rates and tape emulation are supplied through the front panel and Crane Song's USB drivers, a cinch for switching between USB and standalone use. By instantiating Interstellar's unique analog dithering process, 16-bit/24-bit dither filters low-sensitive spectrums during conversion to supply zero-noise crystal clear output. And with unique DSP adjustment controls, triode, pentode, and tape emulation, Sweetwater sound pros have found Interstellar bottles a galaxy of sonic options.
Function, sample rate, and tape emulation controls
Function controls on the front panel change the unit's use of DSP, USB, and dithering modes. Sample clock rates are adjustable from 44.1kHz to 192kHz when not being controlled by a DAW. Sample rate adjustment via the front panel recalibrates the converter, keeping functions accurate. Triode, pentode, and tape modes alter triode tube harmonic, third harmonic, and magnetic tape emulation information, respectively.
Use as a USB interface or standalone ADC unit
The Interstellar's function switch allows you to toggle between five modes, including a USB off and a DSP on mode, and a USB on and a DSP off mode. Without a bus connected, the Interstellar will remain as a standalone ADC, controlling sample rates straight from the unit's master clock and 8 wordclocks. An audio control panel interface is supplied when connected via USB, running sampling rates adjusted by the Interstellar's drivers.
Stunning analog clarity
The Interstellar A/D converter and master clock features Crane Song's analog dithering process, adding dither to audio sources rather than running through a digital operation. By filtering to a less-sensitive spectrum, noise feedback and hazy output are no longer problems. Switching to 24-bit mode disables the dither altogether, allowing complete control for any conversion.
