The phenomenal 2.8224MHz sampling rate of the SM-SX100 produces astonishing high-fidelity sound with excellent time resolution. And, since it transmits and amplifies a digital signal rather than an analogue one, it virtually eliminates sound deterioration. Instantaneous transient response is an essential dynamic characteristic in musical reproduction — and nothing achieves it better than the SM-SX100. With its ultra-high sampling rate and high-speed synchronised switching, the SM-SX100 achieves superlative time resolution. Whether it's a bursting fortissimo or a fading pianissimo, you'll hear the difference. A pure 1-bit signal is transferred from SHARP's DX-SX1 SACD/CD player to the SM-SX100 via the world's first 1-bit direct coupling. Through a special 13-pin cable, an SACD's 1-bit signal is transmitted with virtually no signal loss or deterioration. Now you can enjoy the precision of the recording studio right in your home. Exclusive 1-Bit 13-Pin Cable 1-Bit 13-Pin Terminal High-quality parts — such as amorphous ring-cores and copper-plated housings — minimise unwanted electronic radiation and heat, and virtually eliminate sound deterioration during signal transmission. Every time you turn on the SM-SX100, you'll be reminded of our obsessive attention to the crucial details of high fidelity. A full array of terminals enables high-quality signal transmission between the SM-SX100 and other top-end audio components.
