The success of Audio Alchemy products lies in their power supply purity, outstanding circuit design and high cost-effectiveness, which becomes the aim of their presence in the industry. Whether as a decoder, preamplifier or headphone amplifier, the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 delivers its best. It also offers an optional outboard power supply as an upgrade for demanding users to achieve high-end sonic performance. Nevertheless, Audio Alchemy keeps the price level moderate, thus putting high performance-to-price ratio into practice. Ever since its revival, the technology owned by this company has not fallen behind and is still able to offer first-rate consumer products.
The inherent weaknesses of D/A converters lie in jitter induced distortions. Lots have been done in the DDP-1 to reduce these errors for exceptional sound quality. There is no apparent difference between the DDP-1 and high quality CD players. The former offers high frequency transparency, good bass extension, pinpoint imaging, mid-bass charm, breathing of vocalists, good airiness and overtones that few products within its price range can accomplish.
