Analog Audio:
Separate Left and Right audio ICs are behind the audio capabilities of the TC-7510 headphone amplifier. This is only used for the headphone amplifier output. Audio to the external headphone and line outputs is not processed this way, only level control is adjustable in the digital domain for these ports. A ¼” headphone socket is driven by a dedicated headphone amplifier, which is a highcurrent amplifier that is capable of driving a wide variety of headphone loads, and even outperforms many external headphone amplifiers costing more than a complete TC-7510.
The Volume Control sets the output level of the headphone socket. It can also be used to control the output level of the Variable RCA analog outputs.
The TC-7510 is designed to connect directly to power amps and powered speakers in order to provide the cleanest and shortest path from digital to monitor output.
In the TC-7510, audio for the stereo headphone socket and stereo line output sockets are all treated separately. This means that the two types of outputs are separately amplified and there should be no interaction with loading on the various ports.
However the audio output to all analog outputs are the same. You cannot send one audio feed to the headphones and another to the line output, both will always play the same audio.
The analogue audio output stage operates in Class A. This means that there is no crossover distortion in the audio output, which results in a fuller and better dimensioned sound.
The TC-7510 cost versus performance is more in the high-end league, and has been a pleasant surprise to the many proud owners of this affordable marvel.
The cleverly designed analogue layout helps to maintain minute details, depth, and punch in the information retrieval of the digital audio signal. We have also paid great attention to sound stage and sonic depth, giving the TC-7510 audio performance levels that were previously only available from similar products costing several times the price of the TC-7510.
What if you are playing audio that is at 32 kHz/16 bits and you are losing that extra amount of quality that 44.1KHz gives? The TC-7510 over samples the audio to the audio output section using an 8X over sampling DAC for increased precision during playback.
The unique Virtual DC power supply is largely to thank for the leap in performance.
The two part external and internal power
supply supports all international voltages and has generous margins for over and under voltage conditions.
In sonic terms, the TC-7510 represents a revelation of previously undiscovered instruments and vocal nuances, reproducing every note in great detail. It displays increased air and sparkle that gives the sound a more vibrant character, producing a very accurate and realistic 3D focus. Greater audio resolution along with improved definition bring to life previously undiscovered secrets embedded in the original recording. Everything in every region sounds significantly more detailed and, at the same time, more relaxed and lifelike. Live music flows on the TC-7510 with a realistic sense of linearity, tonality and energy. The virtual stage is gone and replaced with a real atmosphere.
The TC-7510 is certainly true to the recording, but it is more true to the music's essence. with increased image and body. The treble sounds more luminous and brilliant, and the midrange to the bass firmer and more resolute.
A compact and solid metal enclosure protects the TC-7510 against damage in all but the most testing environment.
As you would expect from a product with so many different class leading features, our technical support is there to help you to get the best from your DAC at all times.
