Description
Universal Control Center
Complete with stunning design and audiophile sonic performance Model TWO is an extraordinary integrated pre-amplifier / digital analog converter .
Model TWO is a compelling combination of stunning beauty “a la française”, cutting-edge patented technology and exquisite three dimensional sounds.
High Fidelity for the 21st Century
Model TWO forms the hub of a high-performance audio system. It combines a preamplifier,
a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in a single, slim case, cutting down the clutter while improving the convenience & sound quality. You only need an amplifier to drive the loudspeakers with VERMEER AUDIO Universal Control Center . The vacuum tube output stage delivers a rich, musically satisfying experience, while throwing a palpable, three dimensional soundstage. Model TWO preamplifier section features an analogue volume & balance controls .
Extraordinary 32 Bits /384 Khz design
In order to extract the data with the best performance possible , we have optimized our Model TWO with the latest digital technology , as a major evolution of the S.T.A.R.S Module used previously. VERMEER AUDIO exclusive digital signal processing is handled at 32 bit 384 kHz, combined with an ultra low jitter clock design that delivers remarkable resolution. Complete versatility with both digital and analog signals (inputs & outputs) as well as an asynchronous 24/192 USB ( PCM and DSD audio data) input for easy connection to computers and music servers .
Dedicated Ultra Low Jitter Master Clock.
We combine our exclusive VERMEER AUDIO exclusive digital signal processing with a dedicated ultra low jitter Master clock that incorporates a high grade natural quartz crystal. This resulted in a new level of noise reduction and digital artefact reduction (including Jitter) with less than 1µs of RMS Jitter.
A State of The Art Output Stage
After our exclusive VERMEER AUDIO treatment to the digital signal , we selected the sub-miniature NOS dual triode 6021 directly soldered on the PCB board for perfect contact. We also chose to cryogenically treat the valves and this resulted in extended tube life and accurated sonic performance.
A Totally built in preamplifier
The output stage balance and volume control operate in the analog domain, as this process is the best way to avoid any loss of resolution . This is achieved by a high quality « ladder » attenuator . With a maximum of 7 V output our Pre amp stage is able to drive any amplifier and is competing with the Top 5 Pre amplifiers of the market. This function can be deactivated from the remote by the owner if he wants to use its own pre amplifier.
Connectivity
Thanks to its analog and digital inputs, the VERMEER AUDIO Model Two Universal Control Center allows you to plug your turntable Phono Stage or your tape recorder through balanced and unbalanced inputs, as well as to your laptop or any digital source through S/PDIF or USB asynchronous inputs up to 24/192 kHz without any loss of information.
External Digital Processor
Model TWO is open for an external processor ( DSP, Room Corrector ) by the digital output and a special selection of one of the digital input
Premium Quality Board
We designed a top quality board with 24K gold platted contacts and 70 ppm cooper circuit that allows for a perfect flow of data.
Power Supply
The VERMEER AUDIO new hybrid power supply has been developed to provide extremely stable power with high linearity to each module of the Universal Control Center . Each module receives his own regulator with specific tension for the application . Both analog and digital stages have their own dedicated power supplies , this eliminates all residual noise and interference between the digital and analog domain.
Ultra High Rigid Construction
We choose the best quality . Extremely rigid chassis construction isolates the boards from external and internal vibrations . The main chassis and also the top , front , rear and sides panel are manufactured in high grade anodised Aluminium. The front panel is manufactured in a 50 mm Aluminium lingot , top and sides panel in a 40 mm Aluminium lingot. Thanks to this complete inert housing , small vibrations that could affect the clock precision are totally isolated.
A Masterpiece for your listening room
VERMEER AUDIO model TWO Universal Control Center shall be the selected part of a ultra high quality, no compromised, high end High Fidelity system.
Model TWO has been acclaimed 3 times as « Highly Recommended » product in the DAC Category , Analog Preamp Category and also « Network Renderer » by HFA
