IDEON Audio – Absolute Time Clock

IDEON Audio – Absolute Time Clock

USB & SPDIF re-clocking at the highest possible performance level

The Ideon Audio Absolute Time was conceived, designed, and manufactured as an ultra hi-end audiophile device, re-clocking, re-energizing, and re-driving the digital signal with correction at both the input and output stages.

It improves the digital signal quality to what is currently an absolute level.

Addressing digital playback challenges.

Conceived and designed in-house, the Ideon Audio Triple Distillation USB input comprises a proprietary three-stage noise eradication circuit that eliminates digital noise from the input signal.

Figuratively speaking, we have declared war on linear & non-linear distortion and noise!

Ideon Audio’s proprietary design

Utilizing expertise obtained through our proprietary 3R re-clocking circuits, our Clients’ feedback and suggestions, and latest technology, the absolute Time was designed to address signal degradation issues in a definitive manner.

Superlative power and constant correction are legion here too.

Dual Input and Outputs (USB & SPDIF)

The Absolute Time incorporates separate USB and SPDIF inputs and outputs — a boon for CD collectors for the enjoyment of their music!

SPDIF Correction / Re-clocking

The Absolute Time SPDIF circuit also includes a stabilized coax input and a proprietary, ultra-low-noise, jitter-less re-clocking platform with 12.8MHz master clock output

Stability and Power

The Absolute Time incorporates electrically stable signal inputs and outputs; more importantly, it has a high power, 2.5A (5V rail) USB output, capable of driving any load without loss of detail, clarity, or dynamics.

Ideon Audio, over spec’d Power Supply

Huge, linear, power supplies have become an Ideon Audio trademark. We gave the Absolute Time an excessive main power bank composed of selected audiophile, low esr, silk caps.

The audiophile transformer is high-wattage for the application and hand-made.

Abundant Clean Power

As with all Ideon devices, power is carefully rectified and regulated to ensure vanishingly low noise and distortion.

In the Absolute Time we have included triple-stage, ultra-stabilized, filtering, fueling the circuit.

This approach is instrumental in achieving the sound quality pursued: alive, real, and dynamic, connecting you to the musical event.
