Hertz S8DSP – DIGITAL INTERFACE PROCESSOR
The ultra-compact S8DSP is the perfect solution for integrating any OEM source into your audio upgrade project for cars, motorcycles, and boats. S8DSP is a distilled essence of technology at the service of the highest audio quality in a corrosion-free case cast in metal and composite materials. S8DSP processes the audio signal with 96 kHz / 24-bit resolution and has obtained the Hi-Res certification from the JAS (Japan Audio Society), an acknowledgment that certifies the extreme level of audio performance achieved. The powerful 32-bit DSP manages 6 high/low-level analogue input channels, one digital coaxial input, and 8 output channels, offering maximum freedom of configuration to the specialist. The SPDIF coaxial input is ideal for digital connection with a Hi-Res player, a solution that allows for maximum listening quality.
