The PSX-100 is an extremely flexible two-channel, 24-bit/96kHz A/D and D/A converter featuring Apogee's exclusive UV22 processing, which the company says translates 24-bit audio to 20- or 16-bit with "minimal quality loss.while maintaining much of the detail of the original 24-bit signal." This is key≺pogee claims the PSX-100 converts all analog source material at 24-bit resolution (for 117dB of dynamic range), and can sample at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz. That's what I was determined to find out when I took delivery of this $3900 converter, which, though designed for professional recording studios, has found favor with audiophiles (so far, mostly Japanese) wishing to transfer their LPs, 78s, lacquers, and other analog source material to a high-density digital format.
Can a piece of studio gear find happiness on an audiophile's equipment stand? More important, can an audiophile derive satisfaction from its sound?
