Features
I FPCS (Fine Pulse Conversion System)

In an etfortto improve the quality of digital music, ONKYO investigated the reasons behind CD's lack of warmth or "m usicality
and found that conventional interpolation methods emphasize frequency response. Thus ONKYO developed an entirely new
method of interpolation (FPCS), based on techniques borrowed from the latest advances in computer graphic technology. The
result is smoother interpolation and warmer, more musical" sounding music.

ONKYOs AccuPuIse Quartz System

Because of their high speed, pulse converters require perfect synchronization to do their job properly. ONKYOs proprietary
AccuPulse Quartz System maintainsthis synchronization with uncommon accuracy. thereby eliminating distortion-causing jitter,
and giving ONKYO an audible advantage over other pulse converters.

Complementary Dlstortlon Canceler
Two PDM (pulse density modulation) outputs are obtained, one with the phase reversed, and applied to a differential amplifier.
This eliminates all PDM distortion and provides a pristine analog output signal.

Totally Balanced Output Topology

Rather than the simpler unbalanced circuit designs widely used in many components, the DX-TBBF boasts totally balanced,
double-amp construction from the BIA converter output stages. This shuts out common-mode noise, and allows more room for
the music signal.

Advanced Dual AEI Transformers

ONKYO's AEI (anti-electromagnetic interference) transformers special core configuration and silicon-steel shielding reducq
distortion-causing magnetic flux leakage from 1/1 0 to 1/20 the levels associated with conventional El transformers, and help to
maximize optimum performance from the balanced output circuitry.
