1234A Technology
Youngling Posts: 13 Join Date: 9/16/15 Recent PostsI have two questions:
1- I was wondering where digital to analog conversion happens in 1234; before the amp or in the drive?
Some brands like Steinway Lyngdorf and Meridian highlight in drive conversion as a main feature.
2- in 1034B manual Harmonic distortion value at 50....200 HZ is mention to be less than 1% while in 1234 manual the same parameter is less than 3% .
Does it mean that 1234 is producing less clear sound than it's grandfather?

If you are feeding the system with a digital signal, then the only D/A conversion happens right before the power amplifiers. There is too little information and way too much marketing about the Steinway Lyngdorf system available but it looks to be performing exactly the same. "In drive" D/A conversation doesn't mean anything.
2- in 1034B manual Harmonic distortion value at 50....200 HZ is mention to be less than 1% while in 1234 manual the same parameter is less than 3% .

That is an error! Than you for noticing it. Obviously they have identical distortion specifications.
