The Rowland suite at CES 2011 showcased a working prototype of the new Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC. To the best of my knowledge, Aeris is JRDG's 1st entry in the digital front end arena.
I have little information on Aeris this far, except for what I extracted from the internet, pasted below:
• Machined aluminum chassis
• 1 x USB 24/96
• 1 x toslink and 1x RCA S/PDIF 24/192
• 24/352.8kHz capable DAC chip
• 6 layer circuit board
• Plug-n-play driver free USB
• Total jitter output of less than 10 ps from any input source
• Separated multi-stage isolated low noise power supply
• Separated analog and digital circuits
• Dual stage analog and digital volume control (70dB range)
• 1 x balance transformer coupled outputs (XLR) and 1 x unbalanced RCA
• Rhodium cardas output connectors
• Suggest U.S. retail price: $9800.
I have no official information yet on Aeris release date. I will update this stubb as soon as I find out more.
