What makes the 100D so special? Well, it's many things! It's the new Burr Brown 24bit/192k DAC chipsets, it's the highly accurate digital clock that removes the jitter, and it's the asynchronous sample-rate converter and 8x oversampling digital filters that are responsible for the tremendous sound quality. It is also the huge copper circuit board traces and the advanced analog output stage. You can't discount the effects of the heavy-duty, vibration-damped chassis either.

Technical aspects:

Power supply with 3 stages of DC voltage regulation
A fully asynchronous sample rate converter
BurrBrown PCM1793 high-resolution 24-bit/192-kHz D/A and 8X oversampling digital filter
Accurate digital clocking system for exceptionally low intrinsic jitter levels
Advanced analog signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary analog filter
Accurate matching of military-grade components with ultra-tight tolerances using surface-mount technology for extremely short signal paths
Compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated RCA connectors.
