A chief concern in 1-bit technology was that of protecting the copyrights of SACD's high quality 1-bit contents while providing listeners with a level of sound unprecedented in home audio. SHARP's answer is unique with the introduction of the world's first 1-bit direct coupling.
An exclusive feature, SHARP's 1-bit direct coupling transmits SACD's 1-bit signal stream directly from the DX-SX1 to the SM-SX1 or SM-SX100 by a special 13-pin cable. The recording studio experience is brought to your listening room; pure and unfiltered as it was meant to be heard. The high quality 1-bit signal can not be recorded and is only transmitted from the cable when both the 1-bit amplifier and SACD player recognise each other, thus protecting copyrights while delivering the highest quality sound possible.
