The final result of an audio system cannot be better than the signal that it is fed. The Evolution 505 SACD/CD Player, in an inspired stroke, elimi-
nates a cause of distortion that has plagued digital disc playback from its inception. By taking the nascent analog signal from the DACs and leaving it in its native language, current, the finest musical subtleties and textural shadings are preserved. The result is a perfect analog of the original recording.
The Evolution 525 DVD/SACD/CD Player adds a state-of-the-art video engine featuring stunning 1080p performance and video processing controls.
Evolution 505 FEATURES
Matched 24-bit /192 kHz DACs are used on all channels, and the left and right output circuitry provides CAST and balanced connections for optimal stereo playback.
Surface Mount Technology, a state-of-the-art circuit miniaturization technique, provides the circuit density and signal transfer capability demanded by the advanced Krell circuit design employed in the Evolution 505.
The current output signal of the DACs is fed directly to the Krell Current Mode audio circuitry eliminating the deleterious effect of the current-to-voltage conversion stage present in all other designs.
Evolution circuit topology breaks through bandwidth limitations of conventional designs resulting in near perfect performance in the audible range.
A complete Evolution (source, preamp, amplifier) system, connected in CAST, reduces the number of voltage gain stages to the minimum: one. The resulting noise floor approaches the theoretical limit of technology.
Power supply makes use of extensive electrical and magnetic shielding to keep radiated interference out of critical audio circuits.
Separate power for drive mechanism, digital and analog circuitry maximizes the performance of all sections. A custom-wound toroidal power transformer, 10 times larger than those found in typical source units, offers tremendous current and low noise operation for the analog circuitry. Several stages of regulation insure rock steady power to all gain stages for maximum dynamic impact.
The Evolution 505 supports SACD (single, dual, and hybrid), CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA formats.
Evolution 525 FEATURES
Dual-Channel video format converter, the Evolution-525 outputs 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p via HDMI
Unlike other solutions that provide 1080p outputs through down- and up-scaling, the Evolution 525 utilizes 3D deinterlacing providing state-of-the-art image quality for high-resolution, large-panel displays and projection systems.
Extensive noise reduction, adaptive contrast enhancement and intelligent color remapping, frame-rate conversion, horizontal luma and chroma edge enhancement for the sharpest, most detailed image available.
