Elevate Your Streaming Experience with PS Audio AirLens

Elevate Your Streaming Experience with PS Audio AirLens

Streaming music has become an integral part of our lives, offering access to millions of tracks at our fingertips. Services like Roon, Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify have revolutionized the way we enjoy our favorite tunes. However, there's a critical issue that often goes unnoticed - the quality of the audio we receive. The truth is, connecting your high-end DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) to the chaotic world of computers, routers, NAS devices, local networks, and modems, whether through WiFi or Ethernet, can severely compromise audio quality. This is where the PS Audio AirLens™ comes to the rescue, offering a transformative solution that eliminates noise, jitter, and EMI interference while delivering pristine digital audio. Prepare to embark on a new auditory journey as we explore the wonders of AirLens.

Design: A Paradigm Shift in Audio Purity

No matter how you stream your network music - be it through Roon, Audirvana, JRiver, Tidal Direct, Spotify, a NAS, or a DLNA-compatible server - the unwanted noise that infiltrates your DAC can't be ignored. USB connections, notorious for their noise levels, take the top spot, with Ethernet and WiFi closely trailing behind. What's needed is a complete break in the electrical connection between your computer, network, and DAC. The PS Audio AirLens accomplishes this feat with an input stage and a galvanically isolated reclocking output stage, connected solely through the air. Separate power supplies ensure there are no physical ground or signal connections, guaranteeing 100% isolation and the delivery of flawless digital audio signals.

Application: Elevating Streaming Music to Unprecedented Heights

Bid farewell to the noisy USB-to-computer connection and usher in a new era of streaming music performance by integrating the PS Audio AirLens into your home network via Ethernet or WiFi. Once paired with any DAC, the AirLens interface introduces remarkable transparency, resolution, timbral realism, and dynamic range to your audio experience. The elimination of noise sources like your computer, long Ethernet cable runs, WiFi EMI interference, and modem/router interference significantly reduces jitter and enhances fidelity. Connecting your DAC through its coax or I2S inputs eliminates the haze and congestion caused by these noise culprits.

The Technology Behind PS Audio AirLens: A Revolution in Galvanic Isolation and Digital Lens Technology

Galvanic Isolation: Imagine a world where there's no electrical connection between input and output, where noise is banished entirely. This is the promise of galvanic isolation, a feature at the heart of the AirLens. Typically, a common power supply feeds both inputs and outputs, allowing noise to travel freely from input to output. The AirLens overcomes this challenge by designing two fully isolated stages - input and output - connected by the digital audio signal through thin air. Low-noise, galvanically isolated DC-to-DC converters power the AirLens' output stage, ensuring a clean and noise-free output. The results are nothing short of astonishing - streaming music like you've never heard before, free from noise and jitter-induced distortions.

Digital Lens Technology: The timing of digital audio signals is crucial for optimal sound quality. Relying on the clock within your computer or streaming interface can lead to less-than-ideal results. When musical data enters a computer or streaming interface, there's no clock associated with it. The master clock must be added later to ensure proper DAC function. Enter the AirLens with its Digital Lens technology. Using a variable RAM buffer, data is collected and stored before being sent to the DAC by a high-precision, low-jitter fixed clock. This reclocking process, combined with noise elimination, delivers the cleanest, lowest-jitter digital audio signal imaginable. The outcome is stunning - streamed music that rivals the quality of locally stored tracks from your physical music sources. Prepare to be amazed by the difference the AirLens makes in your audio journey.

In conclusion, the PS Audio AirLens is a game-changer in the world of streaming music. It offers a solution to the often-overlooked problem of noise and interference that plagues our digital audio experiences. With galvanic isolation and Digital Lens technology, it brings audio perfection within reach. It's time to elevate your streaming experience and discover the true potential of your music collection with the AirLens. Don't just listen to music; experience it like never before.
