Bakoon Products SCL CAP-1006 Digital Signal Selector

Packed with SATRI technology. A digital selector that easily handles 192KHz signals and ensures high precision.

The CAP series was born to provide a high-quality music life with a size that fits perfectly even in small spaces. The CAP-1006 is a selector that allows you to choose signals from multiple digital devices and supply high-quality digital signals to a DAC.

High-speed logic and jitter reduction technology

• High-speed logic circuit: High-speed logic is used in the internal logic circuits. This allows signals with slow rise times to be converted into high-speed signals when passing through the unit, resulting in signals with reduced jitter.

192kHz compatible:

• The TOS-LINK optical receiver uses a high-speed type with a 30MHz bandwidth, so it can easily handle signals with 192KHz sampling rates.
• The coaxial input also uses a high-speed pulse transformer and high-speed line receiver to pursue high precision.

Six comprehensive digital inputs

• Versatile connectivity: It can connect to the digital outputs of most devices, including CD players, DVD players, TVs, computers, and mobile players.

6 inputs:

• RCA coaxial input ×3
• Optical TOS-LINK input ×3

Output: Coaxial ×1, optical output ×1 included.

Noise-free operation using mobile battery

• DC5V operation: The power supply is the same 5V as USB, so USB power adapters or mobile batteries can be used.
• Eliminates noise influence: Using a mobile battery eliminates noise from commercial power sources and maximizes the capabilities of the CAP-1006.

Jitter Reduction Effect That Completely Changes the Soundstage

The first thing you notice when adding the CAP-1006 to your system is the clarity of the soundstage. It's as if a veil has been lifted, the background becomes quiet, and audible noise is noticeably reduced. Subtle sounds such as breathing and pianissimo notes come into sharp focus, enhancing transparency. Although it is a digital selector, it clearly functions beyond a mere switch, acting as a jitter reducer.

Dense, Lifelike Sound Imaging

The sound image is dense with clear contours. Each note is well separated, achieving high resolution without feeling harsh. The treble is clear and detailed, while the mid-low range offers warmth and sufficient body. In a jazz trio, the piano’s tones remain clean and well-arranged, the drums hit with realism, and the bass clearly conveys finger playing and body resonance. Even as sounds fade, they remain intact and beautifully preserved, which is particularly impressive.

Enhanced Depth and Scale

The soundstage significantly expands both in depth and width, making the playback sound dramatically three-dimensional. In orchestral recordings, instruments remain well-separated, and sounds hold even during fortissimo passages. Even in large ensembles, there is no muddiness, dynamics and responsiveness are enhanced, delivering energetic and lifelike reproduction. This effect is especially noticeable in classical music, naturally rendering the precision of string instruments and the expansive hall tone.

Consistent Performance Across Various Digital Sources

With different digital sources such as CDs, TV audio (48kHz), and Blu-ray audio (96kHz/24bit), the CAP-1006 consistently delivers high resolution and stable sound quality. In choral music, vocal separation is clear and overlaps do not feel cluttered. Organs and low-frequency instruments maintain both body and tightness, producing strong yet refined playback.

True Performance Shines in Pairs

When paired with a compatible DAC, the CAP-1006's effects become even more pronounced. Sounds become more energetic, with increased information, enhanced responsiveness, and control. It elevates the overall freshness of the system, playing a crucial role in unlocking the full potential of digital playback.

Overall Review

The CAP-1006 is not just a device for switching digital signals. It is a digital signal selector that offers high transparency, densely detailed sound imaging, excellent separation, and a natural sense of harmonics, allowing you to experience improvements in sound quality, including jitter reduction. Regardless of the genre being played, it can provide a tangible enhancement for systems that aim to elevate the quality of digital playback.
