Bakoon Products USC-1001 USB/SPDIF Converter

The USC-1001 is a high-resolution USB/SPDIF digital signal converter that dramatically improves the sound quality of PC audio. By placing it between the PC's USB output and the DAC, it breaks through the limitations of conventional PC playback.

High-precision design minimizes jitter

It converts USB digital audio signals output from a PC into high-quality linear PCM SPDIF signals.

• Asynchronous Mode: The USB input operates in asynchronous mode, preventing the jitter from the PC output from affecting the SPDIF output.
• Ultra-Fast Pulse Transformer: The output uses a dedicated line transmitter and ultra-fast pulse transformer. This outputs digital signals with very fast rise and fall times, resulting in low-jitter signals.
• Sound Quality Improvement: There is almost no linking (small vibrations that cause jitter) seen in CD player outputs, and with short rise times, the result is low jitter and significantly improved sound quality.

Professional-Grade Variety of Output Terminals

It comes with a wide range of digital outputs to connect with various high-end DACs.

• Coaxial (COAXIAL)
• Optical (TOS-LINK)
• AES/EBU (balanced output for professional digital audio signal transmission)

Coaxial, optical, and AES/EBU outputs can be used simultaneously.

Reaching Further Heights (Integration with CAP Series)

By connecting the separately sold CAP-1006 Digital Signal Selector with the USC-1001 in series, you can further reduce rise and fall times, decrease jitter even more, and improve sound quality. The CAP series products are capable of use in high-end audio systems.

Common Audio Characteristics

Regardless of whether it is used alone as the USC-1001 or in combination with the CAP-1006, the following consistent audio characteristics have been observed.

Excellent Attack and Decay with Clear Definition

• "The attack and decay of the sound are excellent, and the definition is clear."
  The edges of digital signals are extremely precise, giving the sound sharp and well-defined contours without any ambiguity.
  Vocals and instrument positioning become clearer, and the overall focus tightens noticeably.
  

Improved Freshness Across the Entire Frequency Range

• "Music is vividly reproduced across the entire frequency range, from low to high."
  Thanks to jitter reduction, the clarity across all ranges is enhanced, bringing lively dynamics back to the music.
  It produces a natural sound that is easy on the ears, allowing for long listening sessions without fatigue.

PC Playback Surpasses CD Playback

• "PC playback has reached a level that surpasses CD playback."
  By introducing the USC-1001, PC playback clearly steps up to a quality level that was previously unattainable.
  
• Many users have reported that not only CD-ripped sources but also high-resolution sources at 96kHz/192kHz can be played at the device's native quality.
  

The 'Decisive Solution' for Users Dissatisfied with PC Playback

• "Highly recommended for those who think PC playback is not good."
  For users who felt limitations or were unsatisfied with PC audio quality, the effect of introducing this device is highly significant. It eliminates the 'PC-like' sound caused by noise and jitter around the USB connection, allowing the creation of a higher-level audio environment.
