About the Pearl-30D
The Cayin Pearl-30D is a two-chassis, 30th Anniversary digital-to-analog converter with selectable Classic and Modern decoding systems. The Classic circuit uses a TDA1307 controller and two Philips TDA1547 converters in mono operation, while the Modern circuit uses four ESS ES9039SPRO DAC chips. The decoding mode can be selected according to the incoming signal. It supports PCM audio up to 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD up to DSD512, with digital inputs including USB, I²S, AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical connections. A separate external power-supply chassis is included, along with 10 MHz reference-clock input and synchronous clock output connections.
