Parasound Halo D3 DVD Player |
Universal Player. DVD / DVD-A / CD / SACD. HDMI - 10-Bit Scaler. 720p/1080i
Parasound's D3 universal player retains the very high standards set by the matching Halo AV Controllers and Power Amplifiers.
At its heart is a newly engineered universal transport capable of extracting the maximum amount of data from almost every disc and media format including DVD, CD, DVD-A, SACD, DVD+/-R/RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG, Kodak Picture CDs, and DivX™.
The D3 features one of the most sophisticated video processing suites available today, including 216 MHz / 12-bit precision video D>A conversion. An on-board Faroudja DCDi processor provides exceptional de-interlacing, while 10-bit video scaling for the HDMI digital video output enables a standard DVD to be output at 480i, 480p, 576p, 720p, or 1080i resolutions.
All video outputs are independent and fully buffered allowing the simultaneous output of HDMI, Component Video, S-Video, and Composite Video, enabling seamless integration of the D3 into both a home theatre and multi-room system.
Balanced XLR outputs for the front channels maintain signal integrity when fed into the balanced inputs of a C1 or C2 controller. Precision 24-Bit/192kHz DACs ensure that CD playback is of the highest order. Pure analogue performance can be even further enhanced by the deactivation of video and digital audio outputs.
Comprehensive bass management is available for DVD-A and SACD high resolution audio sources, with SACD DSD bitstreams being sent directly to the audio DACs, eliminating intermediate conversion.
With eight simultaneously active video outputs, two-way RS232 control, discrete IR operation and external IR input/loop-through, the D3 will form the heart of a superb audio visual system.
