ASP, audio signal processing? Three flavours off perhaps?
Looks like a headphone amp to me, shame I know nothing though lol Chris smile


No 18 in the Hall of fame smile I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best:
GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

Hopefully there's a coaxial and/or optical input in addition to USB.

There does appear to be some kind of processing or filtering opertion. I'd like to see a digital implementation of a crossfeed circuit.

I'm also hoping there's a digital output, so that I can connect a pair of DSP3100s for a killer desktop system.

My guess is that it's a headphone amp with a DAC that takes SPDIF, Toslink and USB inputs and has an apodising filter and selectable upsampling, remote controlled pre and volume, with analog outputs too...

All in one more serious solution for a computer based traditional analog system, cost round 899-999 GB.

If you dig on the M web site you will now find it.

PRIME HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER
ASP = "Analogue Spatial Processing" for "outside the head" listening.

I must try my Grado cans with this.

So USB is the only digital input from the looks of things?

Optional separate power supply. How very NAIM!

Which other M units can this power?

Last edited by dpstjp; 2013-11-21 18:26. Reason: Power supply

Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

Really - No MHR input? So you can't connect this to the back of M's own sources or processors?

Isn't this an obvious use case to take Digital out from a DSP speaker into the headphone amp and use it with the speakers on mute for listening without disturbing other people.
