Connected USB hard disks and thumb drives are also supported, and have the ability to access content from DLNA servers and SMB shares over the local network.
Best connection possible.
Our proprietary connection, the Pro ISL interface prioritizes the most efficient aspects of any digital interface, using an infrared laser diode to transmit over a single-mode fiber cable. This enables features like clock sync and error correction, all while obtaining perfect isolation and ensuring the lowest possible jitter.
The Transport Powerbase
You can’t overstate the importance of a clean power supply. A reimagined design paired with the transport reduces the noise floor even further through specialized isolating transformers. We’ve equipped the transport with a single supply for the audio side of the transport, along with an isolated supply for the video side, yielding an unprecedented level of performance.
