Reference Clock
The high-precision clock of the 590 converter ensures optimal sound, using technology adapted from the 540 SACD player. The word clock signal is available at the rear panel BNC socket to allow synchronisation with an external DAC.

Power supply
The 590 is powered via its USB connection to the computer. Extensive filtering is applied to ensure that high frequency noise components and instabilities cannot affect reference clock performance or propagate through interconnecting cables to affect associated devices and degrade sound quality.

Connections
Digital outputs:
- 1 x SPDIF (RCA)
- 1 x AES/EBU (XLR)
- 1 x Optical (Toslink)
Digital inputs:
- 1 x USB
Clock-Ausgang:
