Here is what Magenta/Margules Audio says about the product:
Harmonic restructure processor and audio signal buffer.
This device is intended to be plugged between any digital audio source and a preamplifier or amplifier.
ADE-24 Analog/Digital Enhancer
Some listeners feel digital recording is flat and sterile-sounding, lacking the warmth and presence of analog reproduction. For those listeners, Margules Audio has designed the Magenta ADE-24 Analog/Digital Enhancer. Until now, the problems involved in reconstructing the original analog signal from digital samples have been dealt with in the digital domain. This requires complex—and expensive—DSP (digital signal-processing) circuitry. In our research, we found that the basic problems can be solved in the analog domain. The design of the ADE-24 is based on the idea that high-order odd harmonics are generated during the reconstruction of the analog signal. These harmonics falsify instrumental timbre, and create a bright, hard, or harsh sound. We designed a circuit with the reverse transfer function, to remove these unwanted harmonics and more-closely approximate the original signal. Implementing this design would normally require integrated circuits (with less-than-perfect sound quality), or costly discrete circuits. Our original circuit topology (patent pending) gives outstanding performance at a reasonable price. The ADE-24 is also a buffer. Its low output impedance reduces interaction between the program source and the interconnecting cables. The ADE-24 is connected to the output of any digital audio source:
· CD
· DAT
· Laserdisc
· D/A converter
· AC-3 (Dolby Digital) and DTS
· DSS
· Computer multimedia
It (ADE-24) substantially improves the sound quality of any digital source, narrowing the gap with more-expensive equipment. This isn’t "magic"—it’s the product of research in electronics and psychoacoustics. You can expect the following improvements:
· Enhanced detail
· Greater "air" and acoustic space between instruments
· Reduced "edginess" and harshness
· Improved imaging
· Increased dynamic range
A History of Value and Innovation
Margules Audio been part of the audio industry for more than 40 years. Its entry-level products have been marketed under the Magenta brand for 13 years. Magenta products are designed to offer the best cost/performance ratio possible. The ADE-24 was engineered to provide most of the sonic benefits of expensive DSP, at a fraction of the cost. The ADE-24 (patent pending) was first introduced in the US market at the 1996 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, as the CD Analog Coupler.
It was named one of the best products at the show by Stereophile magazine (volume 19, issue 5), the oldest and most-respected high-end audio publication.
