This is very convenient and flexible, but often the audio quality is not as good as it should be – some of the passion and feeling in the music is lost. With ECD 2 we have combined modern digital audio electronics with state of the art analog circuitry based on Electrocompaniets design priniciples. The result is extremely low levels of distortion, noise and jitter that will reproduce all your digital sources ultra detailed and precise, while still maintaining the warm and open Electrocompaniet sound. ECD 2 has an asynchronous USB interface supporting HD audio up to 192kHz/24bit.
