{"product_id":"opto_dx","title":"OPTO•DX Optical Isolation for Dual-Coax DACs","description":"\u003cp\u003eHear your Chord DAC as it was meant to be heard. OPTO•DX™ is the superior remedy for RF noise in a single-coax or dual-coax AES or S\/PDIF interface. It works by modulating the coax signal to optical and back to coax over an optical bridge for total optical galvanic isolation. Further, OPTO•DX has independent DC inputs for each side of the optical bridge to provide complete power isolation and reduced noise using battery packs or low noise supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile ferrite-laden coax cables, cleaner sources and other tweaks may attenuate RF noise to the level of your systems’ subjective noise floor, OPTO•DX provides an objectively superior solution for those with the most revealing systems and highest appreciation for musical transparency. With OPTO•DX you will hear a more perfect D\/A conversion: a less bright, smoother presentation with more subtle details revealed — and you can listen louder and for longer without fatigue. Less RF noise at the DAC (measurement images at left) is a direct corollary for better sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1552\/8145\/files\/OptoDX_Configuration_1.jpg?v=1638798808\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPTO•DX is configured as a transmitter and receiver linked with optical cables. For power, AudioWise strongly recommends use of separate power supplies to stop RF from bypassing the optical bridge via the AC mains. OPTO•DX requires nominal 12V power (11V - 15V compatible). Consider powering both OPTO•DX receiver and DAC from the same DC power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the PDF \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1552\/8145\/files\/OPTO-DX_Power_Isolation_November.pdf?130\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e for recommended power isolation configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOPTO•DX Transmitter Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOPTO•DX Receiver Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo (2) Optical Cables (0.5 meter length)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1552\/8145\/files\/WhitePaper_OPTO_DX_November.pdf?168\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Optical Isolation Whitepaper PDF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1552\/8145\/files\/OPTO-DX_Installation_-_April_2020.pdf?v=1587729760\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Formats:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS\/PDIF (Consumer) - format \u0026amp; signal level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAES\/EBU (Professional) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- format \u0026amp; signal level\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChord Electronics  - format \u0026amp; signal level\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (LxWxH):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.15\" x 4.05\" x 1.20\" (80mm x 103mm x 30mm) each transmitter \u0026amp; receiver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1.9 lbs (0.85 kg) \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC 11V to 15V @ 200mA.  5.5mm x 2.1mm connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Interface:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.2mm POF on F-SMA Connectors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e660nm(red)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year return to depot \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AudioWise","offers":[{"title":"No Optical Cable","offer_id":44774862848042,"sku":"ODX-000","price":620.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard 0.5 Meter Optical Cable","offer_id":44774862880810,"sku":"ODX-005","price":640.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/2732\/4458\/files\/Stacked.jpg?v=1788319139","url":"https:\/\/extremeoutfitterspro.com\/products\/opto_dx","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
