Ready to write a piece of clothing article 27: This site is the first sun AudioByte Hydra-Z digital interface

Prior to the introduction of some of the hardware and software remote control experience, the middle of the digital interface. Before drying in the 730U, the most popular reply at the beginning was everyone’s look: What is it? What do you use?

Regarding the role of the digital interface, I briefly introduced it in the previous bills, but personal understanding is not necessarily correct, so please correct me.

Personally think that in the low-end system, the digital interface with the decoder is more flexible than the CD player and the decoding of the digital broadcast, if the sound quality can be used properly with less money to get a better sound quality. Compared with cd carousels without decoding, the digital interface can achieve very good sound quality at a much lower price. The digital interface is basically still the world of digital interfaces. Just make some simple settings, PC+ digital interface. Can also be very comfortable remote control song selection cut song control and adjust the volume, very convenient, personally recommended. PC remote control can refer to this article:

Before I also wrote two digital interface evaluation, we can generally refer to it.

The digital interface I'm going to introduce this time is the famous AudioByte's Hydraz. The manufacturer of this interface came from Romania. His high-end DAC is also very famous. He is a 10W-class Rockna. He played Lao Shao and said that its quality and musical taste are very good.

Hydraz's price is not cheap, the Bank of China 6800, parallel 5800 or so, but the second-hand price is not expensive, 4500 or so can be received, but because of the relatively small amount of possession, things are good, basically a second out, are out, are It is within the group to digest, and purely depends on fate.

Hydraz's looks are less "high-end" than relatively high-end ones. Commonly said that brushed aluminum shell, sharp edges and edges and no polished frame, quite a taste of diy products.

The front panel is relatively simple, the left indicator is used to identify the external power supply or USB power supply, the right indicator is used to distinguish the signal is PCM or DSD, the middle is the logo. Interestingly, manufacturers call hydraz a USB audio bridge instead of an interface. To combine digital interfaces, it only translates static audio files from PC storage media into PCM/DSD dynamic digital code streams that can be recognized by the decoder. The role of the bridge.

In addition, I want to spit on the four large black screws on the front panel, which is simply full of sense. . .

The top of hydraz is very simple, with only four screws and a row of cooling holes.

The back of the interface is complete, from left to right are the clock interface, bnc coaxial, rca coaxial, aes, hdmi IIS, fiber, 5V external power interface, USB interface. There are still four bright screws on the back.

After opening the lid, the inside is a small one. . . I would like to say that since your brother is so small, can't you make the shell smaller? . .

Hydrdaz does not use off-the-shelf chip architecture, but uses FPGAs and algorithms are developed on their own.

The size of the interface with the old Athena, basically hydraz plates into the Athena inside is no problem. . .

The official ZPM price is relatively expensive, to 4,800 yuan. However, we have alternatives, diy linear power out, this product is using simon cattle. Compared to the official power supply, the goods are much cheaper, but the performance is not so much worse.


Put together with hydraz, the volume is not small, but thicker.

The volume of custom wire is much larger than Athena.

When it is not connected, the hysterix sounds softer, but it is relatively soft. The analysis, density, and dynamics are quite different from the use of line power. Many evaluations inside the XX interface hung hydraz, or to win and lose each other, said that the hydraz taste good quality in general, are using no wireline blessing nude Hydraz to compare. I just want to say that even if you add him a 500-dollar line, you can try who is to slap. . .


Although the price of Hydraz+ line is not cheap, once you connect hydraz to your system, you will feel that the money is worth it. The quality of hydraz was a little lower than that of 204, but the overall sound was fluffy and soft, with a relatively strong analogue taste.


Basically, as long as your system is not too exaggerated, not 8XR this price guy, coupled with Hydraz will be very appropriate, with a relatively balanced 1-2W decoding price, can significantly improve the sound quality and make the system more resistant to hearing. To tell the truth is not particularly stringent quality requirements, compared to int204, I recommend hydraz. Personally recommend Aries mini and hydraz matching, the price is not expensive, no matter from the user experience, convenience or sound quality, there is no strong competitor with the price, in addition to split more than the power cord and plug-in bit Too big disadvantage.
