Antelope - 'Pure 2'
Analog Warmth With Digital ClarityThe Antelope Pure 2 is a mastering-grade 24-bit, 192 kHz AD/DA 2-channel converter and master clock. It features a relay-controlled volume attenuator as well as Antelope Audio’s Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology which is critically acclaimed across the world. It also includes pristine analog circuitry, brought to life by a proprietary multi-stage linear power supply for incredible digital clarity and analog warmth, resulting in an astonishing and sonically rich sound.
Amazing Features
• Master clock with 4th generation of Antelope's AFC jitter management
• Relay-Based analog volume control for precise monitoring
• High-End headphone amp with a dedicated D/A converter
• A/D converter with optimized overloads handling
• D/A converter with dual DAC architecture
Intuitive Set Up
Flexible ControlAll the features of the Pur 2 are available in an easy to use software control panel for Mac or Windows, giving users the ability to manage all aspects of the device operation. Pure 2 can also be controlled useing the front panel with user-definable presets.
