Despite this, many enthusiasts employ them to upsample classic PCM encoding into high-rate DSD. SuperHUB's ultra-efficient, FPGA-based audio engine executes powerful upsampling, rendering the need for a cumbersome computer in your setup obsolete.

With such special hardware, we had to push de envelope for a matching case, so we designed a chassis from a solid block of aluminium, precision machined to house our components. The result is a blend of beauty and functionality, ensuring high structural integrity, adequate cooling and vibration resistance in a package that minimises seams and joints. Before anodization, the case undergoes a sandblasting treatment that results in a smooth surface a matte look that elegantly compliments your audio setup.

For all its inputs, particularly traditional digital formats like SPDIF and AES/EBU, SuperHUB employs a robust jitter elimination technique. Leveraging Audiobyte's proprietary technology centered on digital PLLs and buffer stages, it achieves an impressive up to -60 dB reduction in incoming jitter.

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is an electronic circuit with a voltage or voltage-driven oscillator that constantly adjusts to match the frequency of an input signal. PLLs are used to generate, stabilize, modulate, demodulate, filter or recover a signal from a "noisy" communications channel where data has been interrupted.

Control: Effortless navigation through the IPS capacitive touchscreen, complemented by user-friendly Android and iOS control apps.

At the heart of the SuperHUB lies an AMD ZYNQ 7th generation SoC (system-on-chip) integrating hardware and software operations within a single chip. While the countless hours of concealed development efforts may remain unseen, the result is unmistakable – a fluid and continuous stream of music that bestows enduring audio delight.

In contrast to competitors, who predominantly rely on streaming products built around Rpi or off-the-shelf hardware modules, SuperHUB is constructed from the ground up on an exclusive Audiobyte hardware platform. To achieve the best possible results, we designed and built a new mainboard from scratch with a 10-layer custom PCB that allowed our engineers to optimize the signal path. Together with a linear power supply, this guarantees a seamless synergy between audio and CPU hardware, culminating in an exceptional audio experience.
