The Spirit DVA150B is our high end two-channel disc-player. It is a beautifully designed natural part of any balanced Thule Audio system. With its one-button front, it embodies the same simplistic philosophy in both use and appearance as all our other products. Disc format compatibilities include DVD-Video, DVD-Audio 2-channel, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, HDCD, VCD, SVCD, Kodak Picture CD and others. The disc drive is specially selected for high performance audio. The disc operation is smooth and fast, and completely silent. Even with the many disc formats available you will not sacrifice two- channel CD stereo- in fact DVA150B should be compared with CD Players in the same or higher price range. The audio section of DVA150B is able to output stereo in balanced XLR configuration. This makes DVA150B a perfect match for the Thule Audio’s balanced Spirit series amplifiers, IA150B/60B and PR150B, which also have a balanced signal path. Thus you will obtain a fully balanced signal path from the analog source to the speakers. The DVA150B features the highly acclaimed Burr-Brown PCM1793 D/A converter with multi-level Delta-Sigma and a separate power supply for the D/A converter section. Or you could upgrade with the DIGIT II 192kHz asyncronous upsampling board, which will suppress all jitter from the disc. The video section of DVA150B includes PAL/NTSC progressive scan video with advanced film mode (frame by frame interpolation). The video outputs are buffered with a high speed and high current amplifier. This buffering will ensure the quality of the high frequency progressive scan signals are maintained through the video cables. The DVA150B is therefore a perfect companion for any projector, LCD or plasma screens with progressive scan video inputs. DVA150B has the same curved brushed aluminium front as all other Thule products, and also lacks any superfluous of buttons and knobs. It is a harmonious and integrated part of a complete Spirit series system. It can be operated from the one button on the front panel or via its remote control. Thule Audio has prioritised a simple straightforward user interface. For instance all menu choices are shown in both the display of DVA100 and on the screen. This means that you don’t have to turn on your TV-set or projector to operate the disc player, which is particularly useful when playing CDs or DVDs. Technical specifications | | |
