Mozzaik Upsampler 1.2.0 is available in production. The whole processing chain has been revisited. Improved DSD modulator is created to give more resolution. Upsampling filters are created from the scratch with new algorithms to reduce numerical errors. Precision is increased to 80bit floating...
I've heard Wadax in two rooms last year in Munich. One room sounded great. Texture with good soundstage. Very rich sound with ambience. Other room was a dissapointment for me. Cheaper analog setup just outperformed Wadax expensive setup. Sound was harsh and not for my taste. I thought that it...
I have two records that sounds very good on SACD. I use their PCM masters as reference material for the critical listening.
1. Saint Saens - Orchestral Work link
2. Weber - Wind Concertos link
There are updates of the Mozzaik Upsampler available in the beta version. Don't know when it will be in the production. Upsampling filters were modified to get better sound on the old CDs. Mayority of improvements is done in the DSD upsampling area. I reccomend Mozzaik DSD upsampling for DACs...
I'm a bliever in the LEEDH Volume control. It works best when using 16bit recordings. There recording has been mastered carefully chosing noise shaper/dithering that fits. Adding additional noise used in classic digital volume controls, when changing volume will change the sound. I've been...
Negative feedback is not completely understood for the audio. I like to use it a lot in my designs. There is a boundary when it is too much and sound subjectively starts to degrade. What is causing it I don't know. Whatever it is, we cannot measure it with methods that we are currenty using. For...
Output of the buffer stage from video OP AMP is operating in class A. Power stage is simple class D. Idea is to get SET sound with lots of power utilizing analog signal processing and class D power.
Video OP AMPs are used for two reasons:
1. High bandwidth - makes easier to design feedback without causing instability issues
2. High output current - used as an buffer output stage in class A
Mozzaik1 amplifier controls the sound with the precise analog processing in the input stage. Mathematical operations used for processing are implemented using Gilbert cells for multiplication. Same concept is used in RF modulation / demodulation as digital processing for RF is not applicable. We...
I've heard Playback Design electronics in High-End Munich before COVID-19. I was impressed with the sound. It was in 10 best sounding rooms at the show IMHO.
I'm Marko Dvecko, constructor of the Mozzaik Audio brand. We have two products on the market. Mozzaik1 power amplifier and Mozzaik Upsampler to PCM and DSD as a part of Euphony Stylus software. I'm a long time music lover and electronic engineer. My interest is in acoustics and room threatment.
I've heard Soulution 760 DAC last year in Paris show. System was with Constellation electronics and Magico A series speaker. I was impressed with the sound. I would like to hear comparison between Soulution and MSB DAC in the same system.
BG is mine favorite mastering engineer. When he says digital has problems I believe him. Today DAC chips are measuring so good and still they all sound different. Upsampling filters, SDM and analog part of the DAC have their role in the sound. What we as constructors can do is invest our time to...
