BRAX DSP CORE Black - High-End Digital Signal Processor with 192 kHz / 32 Bit Signal Path | Unconfigured

BRAX DSP CORE – The Ultimate Customizable DSP

The BRAX DSP CORE is the latest evolution of Audiotec Fischer’s flagship digital signal processor. Unlike its predecessor, the BRAX DSP, this new CORE version no longer comes pre-equipped with a full set of inputs and outputs. Instead, it is designed as a fully modular platform, allowing each unit to be custom-configured for specific system requirements.

At its core, the device retains the same uncompromising technology as the original BRAX DSP, ensuring unparalleled sound quality, precision tuning, and limitless flexibility. However, it is now built to order, meaning it must be configured with at least one one output before it can be supplied.

This approach ensures that every BRAX DSP CORE is optimized for the exact needs of the installation, minimizing unnecessary components and allowing for the highest level of customization.

Modular Configuration

To tailor the BRAX DSP CORE to your specific system, a range of input and output expansion cards are available, including:

• Analog Inputs & Outputs (AKM / ESS-based)
• SPDIF Digital Inputs & Outputs
• Optical Inputs
• High-Resolution USB Interface
• Bluetooth HD Audio Input

The BRAX DSP CORE Configurator, available on our website under the PROCESSORS section, allows for seamless selection of components to build the perfect DSP setup.

Key Changes from the Original BRAX DSP

• Now sold as a CORE unit, requiring at least one input and one output to be configured.
• Fully modular input/output system, making it adaptable to any audio setup.
• The same high-end processing power, ultra-low distortion, and extreme precision as the original BRAX DSP.

Once configured, the BRAX DSP CORE is ready to elevate any audio system to reference-level performance.

Overview

The impossible takes a little longer – from the very first idea in 2011 until the sales start at the end of 2018 the all-new BRAX DSP went through the longest and most intensive development process in the history of Audiotec Fischer. Desperately awaited from many customers all over the world we proudly present the most advanced digital signal processor which is – without any doubt – redefining both sound quality and functionality. It is not only the first DSP on the market which deserves to bear the famous BRAX logo but it also elevates the performance standard to an unrivalled level.
Audiotec Fischer didn't spare any effort to carry every single detail of this technological masterpiece to extremes.

The "heart" consists of no less than three (3!) of the most advanced Sigma350 series fixed-point 64 Bit audio DSP's with the incredible processing power of 3.6 billion MAC operations per second. This allows running the whole system on a native 192 kHz sampling rate, extending the audio frequency range to 80 kHz. The signal conversion is handled by the best sounding A/D and D/A converters from Asahi Kasei with specifications beyond imagination.

Enormous care has been taken for the design of the power supply which is the essential foundation for perfect sound quality. A host of fifty-five voltage regulators cleans and stabilizes all the supply voltages for every single stage separately. A new high-performance 32 Bit CoProcessor (ACO) supervises every operation and assures the fastest communication with the DSP PC-Tool software and the optional remote control DIRECTOR.

But besides all its technical merits, the BRAX DSP marks the beginning of a new era in terms of connectivity as well. Its unique modular concept allows configuring the inputs and outputs either as analog, digital or a mix of it. It is hard to conceive that with this flexibility the BRAX DSP won't be able to support any kind of system configuration, neither today nor in the future. The “total work of art” is completed by a mechanical concept that gives the impression of immortality at first glance.

Again, the enormous expenditure – from the massive heatsink in BRAX typical straight-lined design to the cinch jacks milled from the solid – is discernible down to the most minute detail.
