o ONKYO Single-Bit D/A Converters
Instead of the "multi-bit" D/A converters employed in many CD players, the BX 708 and BX 706 use an innovative Slllgle'blln system.
It does away With the ladder network required by conventional high-bit" converters and, therefore, needs none of the delicate "trimming"
which such networks require to achieve even adequate linearity The operating pllnClpIe of the Single bit system assures far better linearity
than conventional D/A converters can ever achieve

0 Zero Shift Noise Shaper
The noise attenuation characteristics produced by the digital Ieedback configurations used in conventional nurse shapers are marked
by a continuous reduction from the high liequency range down through the low frequencies. In contrast to this, ONKYO's new Zero
Shift Noise Shaper employs a different feedback factor to produce not a continuous slope, but an attenuation pattern in which norse
is reduced to zero in the middle of the frequency range
The practical effect ol [his modilication is a measurable reduction in residual noise in the audio frequency range. compared wnh con
ventional designs The resulting improvement In the CD player's S/N ratio means more dynamic music reproduction, allowmg the listener
to hear delicate nuances which might have been missed otherWise. ONKYOs Zero Shift Norse Shaper heightens the small Signal lidelitv

of the sing|e~bit D/A conversion process for improved musicality with any program source

0 Complementary Distortion Canceler
C AccuPulse Quartz System
0 Center Mounted Disc Tray

In the DX-708 and DX-706, the central location of the disc drive mechanism serves to dii/ide the digital and analog crrcurt blocks Into
two discrete sections The DX-708 is even equipped with separate power supplies for the two sections, offering further protection against
mutual interference, This arrangement helps to prevent DSI (Digital Signal Interference) from leaking into the analog stage and also

contributes to improved stability for the chassis as whole
