The Zodiac+ offers a variety of connection options, including USB, S/PDIF, and optical inputs, as well as balanced and unbalanced analog outputs. The built-in headphone amplifier is designed for accurate monitoring and delivers smooth sound reproduction at both high and low volumes.

With its comprehensive functionality and high-quality audio performance, the Antelope Zodiac+ is a valuable addition to any audio setup.

Antelope Zodiac+ Specifications
DAC: Digital inputs: coaxial, AES/EBU, optical, USB Sampling frequency: 44 to 192 kHz Line output: 2V Frequency response: Signal-to-noise ratio: Dynamic range: 129 dB THD: 0.0004% Channel separation: Dimensions: 165 x 112 x 190 mm Weight: 2 kg
Background information
The Antelope Audio Zodiac+ is designed to deliver maximum precision and detail in digital audio conversion. Developed by Igor Levin and his team, the Zodiac+ uses a 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) jitter management system. The enclosure is made of sturdy brushed aluminum and features high-quality components such as balanced DA converters and precise volume control. Antelope uses audiophile-grade internal wiring and manufactures most of its products in-house to ensure quality.
Brand history
Antelope was founded by Igor Levin, an engineer with a background in electronic design. In 2004, the company introduced a master clock with oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXO). Subsequent development steps included 64-bit acoustic jitter management technology and the introduction of digital audio converters. Antelope marketed devices with both AD and DA conversion, as well as products with multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs. Since its founding, the company has developed several devices for precise clocking and audio transmission. It uses FPGA chip technology programmed in-house for audio signal processing. Antelope develops internal DA conversion algorithms for several of its devices. Integrated streaming functionality has been added in later models. Products have been developed with multiple user interfaces, including physical control panels and software applications for control over network connections.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
