The TIDAL Contros is designed to be the perfect digital music content controller for TIDAL high-end systems. This is the first TIDAL masterpiece directly benefitting from the ultra-exclusive TIDAL for Bugatti project and its MC-1 controller as basically a synergy-scaled version. Core technologies derived from the Camira, Arkas and Prisma within one cabinet. All it needs is power, ethernet, then connection to a power amp and it’s ready to perform at TIDAL reference level, to simplify the listening experience without compromising.

TIDAL Contros: volume controlled digital-to-music converter with streaming unit and 4 digital inputs

• pure discrete designed 32-bit non-oversampling 8xR2R ladder DAC without pre-ringing and post-ringing

• lossless volume control: the signal output level is directly adjusted inside the ladder DAC - via a galvanically separated potentiometer from the outside (motor driven to be remote controlled as well)

• proprietary ASRT² Analog Signal Remediation Technology: Field Programmable Gate Array for most precise timing correlation between left and right channel incl. timing correction and audio signal remediation processing (target-interpolation TIDAL algorithm)

• every function-module in the TIDAL Contros has its own voltage supply, separated for each channel, left and right, such as for the amplification, the DAC, the PCM-unit, the streaming module and other parts. All together 22 ultra low noise voltage supplies

• 3 x low noise ring-core transformers with foil-shielding to avoid interference current between primary/analogue/digital-audio

• overall capacity >300.000µF with 180 ultra fast charging organic capacitors

• copper-silver cable with 3 layers constrained damping shielding (power input to transformers - the only cabling inside)

• 3 x SPDIF in: coaxial RCA, AES XLR, optical

• 1 x proprietary TIDAL-link input interface with high speed low voltage differential signal driver/receiver: for TIDAL Arkas streamer and TIDAL devices to come in the near future

• 0,01% tolerance precision resistors, ultralow-ESR organic capacitors

• femto clock ultra-low noise oscillator (-169 dB)

• fully discrete Class-A output amplifier, balanced output concept without any sound-changing inverted signal generation (like with transformer outputs)

• music data streaming input: LAN ethernet (1000 BASE-T), USB storage/hard disk (single partition FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, EXT2/3)

• multi clock system for utmost precision in timing, MQA decoding, DSD over PCM support

• UPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension, gapless playback

• supported formats: DSF (DSD), DFF (DSD), DoP (DSD), FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MQA, MP3, AAC (M4A)

• native support for Tidal music streaming, Qobuz music streaming, MQA, Apple AirPlay, TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect music streaming

• Dimensions: 44cm x 13cm x 39cm / 17.3" x 5.1" x 15.3" (width x height x length)

• Weight: 36 lbs. / 16,6 kg
