SOULNOTE Z-3 Network Transport

SOULNOTE Z-3 Network Transport

Flagship Network Transport developed to maximize ability of ZERO LINK
by eliminating any bottlenecks at the development stage

The Z-3 uses the same digital high-reguration transformer as D-3. An unprecedented 260 VA large-capacity transformer is used to create four non-NFB discrete power supply circuits separated from each circuit winding. It uses a total of 16 ultra high-speed SiC rectifier diodes and 70 low-magnification electrolytic condensers. This provides endless expressive power with overflowing clarity and directness.

By incorporating an optical link module, this opens up the door to optical cable connections. And the use of an SFP RJ45 module allows for compatibility with regular LAN cable connections.
* The optical link module, RJ45 module, optical cables, and LAN cables are not included with the Z-3. Please consult with your local retailer.

An SC Cut OXCO is installed in the dedicated SFP circuit clock. Although it is an asynchronous component, every effort was made to counteract its effects by maximizing the clock quality. When ZERO LINK is connected, the high-quality D/A converter master clock transmitted by ZERO LINK is used in the I2S generation circuit and Non-PLL Sync is applied.

Temperature settings
The circuit current in SOULNOTE products relies on solutions with the highest emphasis on sound quality and safety. Functionality and sound quality generally improve when the transistors operate at higher temperature.。
Anti-vibration housing
SOULNOTE products place the highest emphasis on sound quality, so the top cover, chassis, and other components do not employ vibration isolation.
Regarding use of electronic equipment cleaners and contact rejuvenation products on SOULNOTE products
Commercially available electronic equipment cleaners and contact rejuvenation products could damage the resin components of SOULNOTE AC inlets. Do not use these types of chemical products on SOULNOTE equipment.
