Trends Combo 10 SE Desktop Hi-Fi System Review


Features

  • Provide all functions of Audiophile USB Transport, USB DAC, headphone amplifier, pre-amplifier and power amplifier(Combo 10 only).Compact design (mini-size & light weight), easy portable and setup for Hi-Fi room, living room, sleeping room or even right beside your laptop computer.High-end Burr Brown PCM2704 IC for USB audio conversion.
  • Provide TWO sets of switchable audio inputs in the pre-amplifier. Besides the normal CD input, the PC/iPod input with higher gain is provided for small output PC/Mac/iPod/iPad.Besides the normal audio output in the back panel, ONE headphone output in the front of the pre-amplifier to drive even high-impedance audiophile-grade headphones.TWO precise screw-driving potentiometers for professional audiophiles to adjust the tube's bias voltage to guarantee the best working point for different tubes.
  • Separated digital/analog ground. The digital GND (network) and the analog GND (solid) is totally separated except connected via a ferrite bread in a single point. It effectively reduces interference between digital signals and analog signals.Proprietary impedance matching circuits for Coaxial(75ohm) digital outputs.Applied the specially designed pulse transformers for Coaxial outputs to further isolated interference from UD-10.1 Lite to the external DAC. The most pure, accurate, standard digital signal is then regenerated with minimum interference and jitter.Plug-and-play without driver installation for most PC/Mac operating systems, e.g. Windows 7, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS X or above.
  • Specific circuit design and components of PW-10 PSU applied for different power usage characteristics, which perfect match the different applications in high-frequency, high-current, digital and/or analog circuits for Trends Combo Hi-Fi System.High quality EMI noise filter in Trends PW-10 PSU is added to filter out those high frequency noise inducted from the global electricity network from Trends Combo Hi-Fi System.Built-in over-current protection and over-temperation protection design in the power amplifier.Unique air-core inductor in power amplifier used (instead of magnetic-core) for better sound.
  • Innovative circuit design of low voltage hybrid (tube/transistor) & pure class-A circuit pre-amplifier to provide the best sound performance and easy/safe DIYer accessibility. The pre-amplifier supports both 6DJ8/6922 series and 12AU7 series tubes by simply switching the jumpers. DIYers can easily change their both series tubes to enjoy the fun.ONE bi-triode 6DJ8/6922 or 12AU7 tube as voltage amplification and TWO MOSFETs as output driver the pre-amplifier perform the warm, comfortable tube sound and in addition, guarantee the high fidelity & sufficient driving power to the next power amplifier stage.
