MC1

BUGATTI and TIDAL Audio are united in a shared philosophy: to strive for perfection without limits in order to perform with exceptional design, effort and uncompromising spirit. The two companies, leading in their respective fields of exclusive luxury automotive design and premium audio systems, will set a new standard for home music systems – introducing ‘the BUGATTI of home audio’. The two companies will work to establish a new category of sound systems, underpinned by unrivalled exclusivity and high quality like no other.

Detail to follow soon.

  • TIDAL Contros: volume controlled digital-to-music converter with streaming unit and 4 digital inputs
  • pure discrete designed 32-bit non-oversampling 8xR2R ladder DAC without pre-ringing and post-ringing
  • lossless volume control: the signal output level is directly adjusted inside the ladder DAC – via a galvanically separated potentiometer from the outside (motor driven to be remote controlled as well)
  • proprietary ASRT² Analog Signal Remediation Technology: Field Programmable Gate Array for most precise timing correlation between left and right channel incl. timing correction and audio signal remediation processing (target-interpolation TIDAL algorithm)
  • every function-module in the TIDAL Contros has its own voltage supply, separated for each channel, left and right, such as for the amplification, the DAC, the PCM-unit, the streaming module and other parts. All together 22 ultra low noise voltage supplies
  • 3 x low noise ring-core transformers with foil-shielding to avoid interference current between primary/analogue/digital-audio
  • overall capacity >300.000µF with 180 ultra fast charging organic capacitors
  • copper-silver cable with 3 layers constrained damping shielding (power input to transformers – the only cabling inside)
  • 3 x SPDIF in: coaxial RCA, AES XLR, optical
  • 1 x proprietary TIDAL-link input interface with high speed low voltage differential signal driver/receiver: for TIDAL Arkas streamer and TIDAL devices to come in the near future
  • 0,01% tolerance precision resistors, ultralow-ESR organic capacitors
  • femto clock ultra-low noise oscillator (-169 dB)
  • fully discrete Class-A output amplifier, balanced output concept without any sound-changing inverted signal generation (like with transformer outputs)
  • music data streaming input: LAN ethernet (1000 BASE-T), USB storage/hard disk (single partition FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, EXT2/3)
  • multi clock system for utmost precision in timing, MQA decoding, DSD over PCM support
  • UPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension, gapless playback
  • supported formats: DSF (DSD), DFF (DSD), DoP (DSD), FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MQA, MP3, AAC (M4A)
  • native support for Tidal music streaming, Qobuz music streaming, MQA, Apple AirPlay, TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect music streaming
  • Dimensions: 44cm x 13cm x 39cm / 17.3″ x 5.1″ x 15.3″ (width x height x length)
  • Weight: 36 lbs. / 16,6 kg
