Sound Less Digital and More Analog with the HEDD192
Crane Song HEDD192 - When choosing analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, you have a choice to make - do you go for something that delivers transparent conversion, or look for a little color? Thanks to Crane Song's HEDD192 (Harmonically Enhanced Digital Device), now you can have your cake and eat it too. HEDD gives you independent 2-channel A/D and D/A converters that offer transparent conversion up to 192kHz via AES/EBU or S/PDIF I/O. Once the signal is in the digital domain, HEDD's powerful DSP takes over. With the ability to mimic the distortion characteristics of analog tape and triode and pentode tubes, HEDD can turn the crispiest digital signal into something that sounds like it was recorded in 1976.

“Boy, I love the sound this unit. Some of the best conversion I ever heard. I have tried quite a few different converters. Everything from Apogee to Mytek to Black Lion Audio. But man, talk about fatness, clarity and warm tone. The pentode dial is my favorite. Then the tape knob. Superb conversion. Don't really care for the internal clock though. The Apogee Big Ben strapped on makes it...” Read More
