PS Audio AirLens Network Streamer

Technology

• GALVANIC ISOLATION
  Galvanic isolation means the complete elimination of any physical electrical connection between input and output. Typically, a common power supply provides ground and power to both inputs and outputs. Once a non-galvanically isolated device is connected to a noise source at its input, its shared ground passes the noise through a common ground to the output stage where the DAC is connected. The challenge with the AirLens was to design two fully isolated stages: input and output, and connect the digital audio signal between the two without any loss. To do this we incorporated a low-noise galvanically isolated DC-to-DC converter to feed power to the AirLens' output stage. We then deliver the received digital audio data to that clean output stage using only air as the interface. The results are nothing short of amazing. Finally, streaming music with all the noise and jitter-induced haze and congestion gone.
  
• DIGITAL LENS TECHNOLOGY
  Digital audio signals rely upon critical stability in timing to sound their best. Relying upon the clock in your computer or the clock inside of a streaming interface is typically less than ideal. As network musical data enters a computer or streaming interface there is no clock associated with the data. Once collected, the master clock must be added so that your DAC can function properly. Inside the AirLens is our famous Digital Lens technology. Based on a variable RAM buffer, the data is collected and stored before being sent out to the DAC by a high-precision, low-jitter fixed clock. This reclocking of the data coupled with the elimination of noise provides to your DAC the cleanest low jitter digital audio signal possible. The results are stunning. Suddenly, streamed music rivals that of local music from your transport. Experience the difference from the AirLens.
• WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
  Whether you choose your streamed music through Roon, Audirvana, JRiver, Tidal Direct, Spotify, or any DLNA-compatible source (like your NAS), the addition of the PS Audio AirLens between the network and your DAC will set a new standard of musicality. Simply connect your network to the AirLens through Ethernet or WiFi, then your DAC to the AirLens through either coax (RCA) or I2S (via an HDMI cable) then sit back and be amazed. The AirLens connects any DAC to the outside world via your home network and protects your sensitive DAC from any unwanted noise from cables, computers, and WiFi. The AirLens will handle PCM up to 384kHz, and DSD up to 256 (4X) in DoP or native. The world of streaming just took a major leap forward in sound quality. We cannot wait for you to experience all that streaming has to offer.
