HARMONY µDDC
Digital-to-Digital Audio Converter
Timing is everything when it comes to high-resolution audio, and the Harmony µDDC was built to perfect it. A precision-engineered digital-to-digital audio converter, the µDDC intercepts your digital signal before it reaches the DAC, performing meticulous reclocking to eliminate jitter and restoring timing accuracy to its purest state. Whether anchoring a desktop listening setup or serving as the nerve centre of a sophisticated hi-fi system, the Harmony µDDC integrates seamlessly, quietly elevating every source it touches into something altogether more resolved, more musical, and more true.

Compact Digital-to-Digital Audio Converter Design.
The Harmony µDDC is a compact DDC audio converter designed for those who demand signal integrity without sacrificing the aesthetic of their space. Purpose-built for desktop audiophile environments and high-end audio systems alike, this high-end audio component delivers the performance of a full-sized digital-to-digital converter in a footprint that respects your desk, your rack, and your sensibilities. The ideal upstream companion for any compact DAC or desktop audiophile system seeking cleaner signal input, it elevates everything downstream without drawing attention to itself.
Perfect Fit for Your Desktop Setup.
A great DDC for audio systems should disappear into your setup, present in performance, and unobtrusive in presence. The compact size of the Harmony µDDC ensures it integrates naturally with desktop audiophile configurations and digital audio systems requiring signal optimisation, slotting neatly into even the most considered arrangements without demanding attention it hasn't earned. Organized, clean, and utterly at home wherever it is placed.
Unibody CNC Aluminum Chassis.
In digital audio equipment, solid aluminium construction is a functional necessity. A rigid, resonance-free enclosure improves thermal stability and acts as a natural shield against electromagnetic interference, protecting sensitive internal circuitry from the noise that compromises signal purity. Crafted from a single block of aerospace-grade aluminium using precision CNC techniques, the Harmony µDDC delivers exceptional durability, a refined finish, and effective heat dissipation, all while exuding premium quality.
Ultra-Low Jitter Femto Clock Precision and External 10MHz Clock Input.
Jitter is among the most insidious sources of sonic degradation. It blurs transients, softens imaging, and robs music of its sense of ease and realism. The Harmony µDDC addresses this at the source. Its advanced ultra-low phase noise femto clock operates with a timing precision measured in femtoseconds, translating, in practice, into a soundstage that opens up, a stereo image that locks firmly into place, and a digital signal that arrives at your DAC exactly when it should. Support for external 10MHz master clock integration extends this precision further still, offering a pathway to even greater accuracy for those who demand the absolute ultimate from their digital audio system.
Ultra-low jitter clocking restores the spatial and temporal coherence that timing errors erode, improving soundstage clarity and digital signal accuracy in ways that are immediately audible. Despite its diminutive footprint, the µDDC's femto clock, designed by a trusted industry leader, delivers remarkable precision and timing accuracy, ensuring pristine audio performance
Compact Femto Clock with Ultra-Low Jitter.
External 10MHz Master Clock Input.
For audiophiles seeking the highest tier of synchronisation, the µDDC's support for external 10MHz master clock input opens the door to a new level of precision. By locking to a dedicated high-precision master clock system, the µDDC achieves a stability and coherence that elevates the entire digital chain, reducing residual jitter to near-immeasurable levels and delivering a sonic performance that reflects the full resolving power of your system.
Digital Signal Reclocking and FIFO Buffer Technology.
The Harmony µDDC is built with cutting-edge signal processing technology to deliver pristine audio quality. A digital signal reclocker audio component like the µDDC sits between your source and your DAC, intercepting the incoming digital stream and subjecting it to a rigorous realignment and reclocking process before passing it downstream. Jitter accumulated from upstream devices such as USB interfaces, streaming transports, or network players is thus stripped away entirely. This proprietary design ensures unparalleled precision and signal integrity, making it an ideal choice for high-resolution audio enthusiasts.
Advanced FPGA & CPLD Signal Processing.
The Harmony µDDC features a high-precision Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that manages complex digital signal routing and processing with ultra-low latency. Supporting formats up to PCM768 and DSD512, it ensures bit-perfect data handling. Complementing this is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) dedicated to optimizing signal timing, minimizing jitter and phase noise for precise, efficient operations. This results in a signal path that is clean, controlled, and unwaveringly faithful to the source.
Proprietary FIFO Buffer and Reclocking Technology.
Utilizing an ultra-precise femto clock, µDDC's proprietary FIFO buffer absorbs the incoming stream of upstream devices and systematically re-aligns it to the beat of the ultra-precise femto clock before release. This combination eliminates timing irregularities and jitter from upstream devices, delivering a stable and clean output with enhanced soundstage clarity, dynamics, and resolution.
Galvanically Isolated I²S Outputs.
Electrical noise travels. Left unchecked, it migrates between components through shared ground paths, contaminating the signal in ways that are difficult to identify but easy to hear. The µDDC's galvanically isolated I²S outputs sever this path entirely, creating a complete electrical barrier between the converter and the components downstream. This guarantees a clean, noise-free signal path for an uncompromised audio experience.
User-Friendly Control Interface.
Precision should never come at the cost of simplicity. The µDDC's intuitive control interface makes input selection and system configuration immediate and effortless, with accessible buttons, clear feedback, and a logic that requires no learning curve. With a single press, you can seamlessly navigate and be where you need to be.
