Rockna 推出新一代的 Wavedream DAC - 有玄機！

CKKeung

Rockna 剛宣報會推出 新一代的 Wavedream DAC，新的 features 包括：

• New Femtovox clock system.
• Improved power supply section.
• FPGA-based powerful upsampler to 768Khz or 705.6Khz before decoding.
• Adding DSD256 support.
  

但最令小弟感興趣的是 新一代的Wavedream DAC會使用新的 Rockna自家的 resistor-array modules ：

現時的Wavedream DAC內的 MSB OEM resistor-array modules

大家如果再仔細的研究一下，就會發覺另有玄機！
原來新一代的 Wavedream DAC 有兩個型號：Edition (用 Rockna RD-1 26-bit modules) 及 Signature (用 Rockna RD-0 27-bit modules)。


咦！ MSB 最新的 Series V Signature DAC 只是用上 MSB 25-bit modules，而 Series V Diamond DAC 只是用上 MSB 26-bit modules.
MSB 的Series V Signature DAC 和 Series V Diamond DAC 在香港的實價 (不連PSU) 分別大約是HK$135k 和 HK$200k 喎！


如果 Rockna modules 和 MSB modules 的造功相約，莫非這兩部 Rockna 新一代的 Wavedream DAC 是賣大飽！？？
極期待呀！！！

如果有銀色機身選擇就更加好

Hi starship hing,

短時間內都唔會住....   very sorry for the case.

甘快出新款

不知舊款能不能升級模組

rxooo

希望有舊機升級新機服務啦

Hi johnmo hing,

其實 WaveDream DAC 出左一年半 啦.....  你可以玩這一個是小改版 啦!  其實現在的MSB Platinum Module version  (same as MSB DAC IV and DAC IV Plus)  好好聲的....  而且我們香港的師兄的口碑也好.....

Cheers,

即舊款將停產, 新款取代現有形號, 價錢略調升一些

Hi johnmo hing,

Mark II 版價錢沒什麼分別呢.....

If similar prices but the new Signature model is now using 27-bit resistor-array modules ...

Hi CKKeung hing,

Yes,  it is just the same in MSRP。　　but with 27bit resistor module,  (more resistors needed ),     and Signature version got single ended and balanced now.  Which is NOT available in old MSB enabled Signature Version ,  but actually msb standard and signature version got really GOOD c/p ratio as MSB DAC IV and V  Signature cost around HK$200K.  and Rockna version is around 50% of it.  

Cheers,

Oh.  That's a bit disappointing if the new Rockna Signature dac with 27-bit modules has no balanced version.  

Only Hiendy brothers who have non-balanced audio systems can be benefited.

那很好

不過我關心的是舊形號有否換新模組的選項

新舊板聲音上的分別則要到貨後才能知曉了

johnmo hing,
Not too optimistic.  Please examine the photos. The circuit board layouts around the modules are quite different.
Let Ben to ask Rockna for the feasibility of such upgrade la.

Hi CKKeung hing,

Yes,  resistor module layout got quite some different after resistor module !  for the FPGA and Power supply section,  just the same!

Yes, I did ask for the arrangment.....

CKKeung hing,

it got both version for signature , SE and XLR , same as Platinum version.  so, totally will be 4 versions.

謝謝你的回應

I went to Ben Sir office with Chaucer兄 today afterwork, to listen to the new Rockna WaveDream DAC with 26bit modules.
Chaucer兄 is owner of the older WaveDream DAC.
The pairing gears are Clones Audio AP2 Preamp, Korean Soniccraft poweramp and Volent VL3.5 speaker.



The new Rockna DAC is only 100 hours old but OMG!  

Both Chaucer兄 and I thought that Rockna has hit the jackpot this time!
Most DAC in the market which are <80-90k 有難了！


Hiendy brothers, please find time to go to Ben Sir showroom to have a listen.
And have your wallets ready!
