About the Aeris
The Jeff Rowland Design Group Aeris is a high-end standalone digital-to-analog converter with USB, TosLink, and two S/PDIF inputs. It provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, dual-stage remote volume attenuation, separate 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz VCXO clocks specified at less than 1 picosecond RMS jitter, and a differential 24-bit/352.8 kHz conversion architecture. The Aeris was developed in collaboration with Holm Acoustics and uses a separate power supply.
