The built-MASH 1 Bit-D/A-Converter provides sound quality that is far above all, what with previous CD players was possible, because even with an increasing bit number could be the problem of distortion in the conversion of extremely small signal levels never completely avoided. In connection with the Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation (NTT) developed Matsushita - the company behind the name Technics - the MASH principle, or more specifically the Multi-Stage Noise Shaping 1-Bit-Digital/Analog-Konverter. This new converter system to 1-bit basis avoids linearity error and is thus 16 -, 18 - or 20-bit CD players in the signal transformation in most cases superior. The principle underlying the new converter is based, is simple. With a conventional 16-bit player, the analog signal from 216, ds 65,536 voltage levels of different heights, together. These are 16 necessary precision resistors whose accuracy is subject to certain manufacturing tolerances are. This uncertainty adds accuracy but at the signal conversion to larger errors. With the new TechnicsT-bit converters but does not the voltage level, but the duration of the signal value of the pulse shape. There are only two values without intermediate steps by which the analog signal is converted to digital.
The resulting "pulsbreitenmodulierte (PWM - Pulse Width Modulation) waveform amplitude to avoid errors by using only one reference state opponent from the outset, also be used as the reference time axis is used, the clock of a quartz crystal is kept absolutely precise.

Together with the noise shaping (noise shaping), the disturbing noise far above the listening area shifted, the result is a never belonged clear, distortion-free, detailed music playback, you simply must have heard!
