Cypher Labs' AlgoRhytm Solo iDevice digital audio processor



Yet another new iPod digital audio DAC/Transport with digital output.  The battery-powered AlgoRhythm™ Solo is a digital audio processor for Apple iPad, iPhone, or iPod devices.  The digital audio is accessed asynchronously via USB port then routed to the reference grade Wolfson Microelectronics DAC.  

  • USB interface works with iPad, iPhone and iPod (won't work with computer USB output)
  • 1/8" analog line out
  • Simultaneous S/PDIF coaxial digital output 
  • Lithium-ion batteries
  • 10 configurable timers and 3 clock chips allow maximum flexibility in controlling timing, resulting in ultra-low jitter (err...whatever that means)
  • AC adapter for charging batteries
