From MP3 to DSD. It’s all good.

Although Nativ Wave is designed for High-Resolution Audio it significantly enhances the sound of all your music. Even compressed music from streaming services like Spotify and Pandora are filled with wonderful life and detail.

Nativ Wave plays all major High-Resolution Audio formats including DSD up to 11.2896 MHz (Quad-DSD), DXD and PCM files sampled at up to 32-bit/384 kHz. Support for Meridian’s MQA is also in the works.

Nativ Wave connects seamlessly to all your digital sources. Its cutting-edge asynchronous USB 2.0 interface with the latest 16-CORE DSP from XMOS is designed to perfectly process music from your Nativ Vita or PC/Mac. Additional audio sources like your TV can be connected via any of the four additional high-quality inputs for S/PDIF (RCA, TosLink, BNC) and AES/EBU (XLR).

All digital inputs are carefully managed through our high-precision master clock generator and feature full electric and galvanic isolation to eliminate contamination and ensure signal integrity.

Nativ Wave processes audio from the digital inputs in bit-perfect quality or upsampled to 128x Fs DSD. The DSD upsampling is handled by proprietary algorithms and a powerful SHARC DSP, which minimizes jitter and allows the implementation of a gentle analog filter with high slew rate and tight tolerances. The result is a noise floor that is well below that of the recording itself, and a fantastic linearity that reveals musical details you have never heard before.

Nativ Wave features a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter so you can customize the sound to your personal preference for different music genres, formats and your stereo system. Settings of the filter are linear or minimum phase, slow or fast roll-off, standard or apodizing attenuation.

The heart of Nativ Wave is its state-of-the-art digital-to-analog conversion, which is based on a fully balanced differential dual-mono design featuring two 24-bit/192kHz Burr-Brown DSD1792A DACs. The result is an extremely low noise floor, phenomenal linearity and a great dynamic range of > 127 dB.

On a board design level Nativ Wave perfect ensures signal integrity at all times, using pure copper tracings and keeping the signal path between the DAC and analog output as short as possible. All sound critical components are electrically and galvanically isolated, with additional shielding to reduce interference within the chassis to an absolute minimum.

Left and right channel are entirely separated, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, state-of-the-art Crystal oscillators and analog circuitry. This maximizes channel separation and virtually eliminates crosstalk. Experience your music with a level of detail and dynamics that will make your hair stand on end.

Nativ Wave employs a sophisticated audio clock management system that is based on two of the world’s best ultra-low phase noise oscillators from Crystek. The dual-clock design supports multiples of 44.1kHz (22.5792MHz) and 48kHz (24.5760MHz) independently, and uses best-in-class logic arrays for data reclocking to ensure that the signal to the DAC is absolutely accurate and cleaned of virtually all jitter and low phase noise. Nativ Wave automatically assesses the quality of all inputs, measures their frequency and jitter, and then routes the input to the best clock regeneration system.

To maximize the acoustic performance all analog processing is done with high-performance operational amplifier modules from Texas Instruments. Additionally, German-made WIMA® FP Polypropylene Capacitors were chosen for their superior clarity and dynamic ability.

Two output levels —2 and 7.5 Vrms— with a relay switching system allow connectivity to a wide range of low- or high-gain preamplifiers, power amplifiers as well as headphones. No servomechanisms or AC coupling capacitors are used to avoid sound degradation of any kind.

Built for the best headphones. In addition to being a world-class Digital-to-Analog Converter Nativ Wave also incorporates a high-end balanced headphone amplifier, driven by the same cutting-edge dual-mono DAC design with two 24-bit/192kHz DSD1792A and using an advanced 100% solid-state topology. This remarkable headphone amplifier is not just a side product, but easily competes with the best standalone headphone amplifiers.

Plenty of power. Our headphone amp delivers high output power (up to 1.75W) over various loads, enough to drive even the most demanding headphones. The advanced amplifier design uses a high-speed buffer with a slew rate above 2000 V/ms to prevent odd order distortion anomalies.

The Achilles heel of many amplifiers is their volume control. It is most often digital for reasons of convenience, causing a loss of resolution and dynamics. Nativ Wave performs volume control purely in the analog domain and is completely bit-perfect, at any volume level. It features one stereo volume control chip per channel in differential mode, virtually eliminating noise and minimizing THD.

The design of Nativ Wave is a refreshing alternative to the “synchronized” look of most USB DACs. We hand-built Nativ Wave in small production lots and only use exclusive materials, including premium-grade 7000 series aluminum with fine anodize finish, Japanese-made Asahi® glass and solid American wood.

Nativ Pulse

The secret to any great sounding audio component is a stable and absolutely noise-free power supply. Nativ Pulse features a highly sophisticated linear circuit design with dedicated supplies for the analog and digital sections, ultra-low noise linear regulators, custom-built toroidal transformer and a state-of-the-art AC power line filter to get the maximum performance out of your Nativ DAC.

Nativ Pulse is separated into dedicated power supplies for the audio stages and the digital circuits. To protect the sensitive analog stages we use best-in-class regulators that minimize ripple and eliminate jitter. With more than 50,000 μ-Farad of storage capacitance Nativ Pulse delivers virtually unlimited impulse current and an excellent transient and bass response, allowing Nativ Wave to go from absolute silence to explosive dynamics in the blink of an eye.

It's all about the timing.

The ultra-precise clock generator on Nativ Wave is an engineering marvel and is –like all clocks– highly susceptible to noise. Nativ Pulse employs a dedicated supply to power the sensitive digital clocking circuits on the DAC modules, and a dedicated linear regulator for the clock generator to virtually eliminate jitter. A total of 25 separate low- noise linear regulators minimize noise and interference between all circuits.

Even digital hates noise.

A separate high-end Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) delivers stable power to non-audio components, featuring a high efficiency rating and ripple noise below 50mVp-p at full load (5A).

Made exclusively for Nativ by Nuvotem Talema® this exceptional multi-rail toroidal transformer provides clean and stable power and keeps noise contamination to a minimum. It uses a high-mass, low-profile, low magnetic field design and is electrostatically shielded to suppress power line disturbances.

A great power supply design is all about minimizing noise, and that starts with the power line. Nativ Pulse incorporates a best-in-class AC power line filter from Swiss company Schurter, with an ultra-high noise attenuation to virtually eliminate all EMI/RFI noise from the AC mains.

We put Nativ Pulse in a separate enclosure for good reasons. The anti-magnetic chassis protects the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration and isolates the sensitive audio electronics in Nativ Wave from electromagnetic and mechanical interference. It also eliminates the negative effects that thermal radiation can have over the long term.

Although Nativ Wave is designed for High-Resolution Audio it significantly enhances the sound of all your music. Even compressed music from streaming services like Spotify and Pandora are filled with wonderful life and detail.

Nativ Wave plays all major High-Resolution Audio formats including DSD up to 11.2896 MHz (Quad-DSD), DXD and PCM files sampled at up to 32-bit/384 kHz. Support for Meridian’s MQA is also in the works.

Nativ Wave connects seamlessly to all your digital sources. Its cutting-edge asynchronous USB 2.0 interface with the latest 16-CORE DSP from XMOS is designed to perfectly process music from your Nativ Vita or PC/Mac. Additional audio sources like your TV can be connected via any of the four additional high-quality inputs for S/PDIF (RCA, TosLink, BNC) and AES/EBU (XLR).

All digital inputs are carefully managed through our high-precision master clock generator and feature full electric and galvanic isolation to eliminate contamination and ensure signal integrity.

Nativ Wave processes audio from the digital inputs in bit-perfect quality or upsampled to 128x Fs DSD. The DSD upsampling is handled by proprietary algorithms and a powerful SHARC DSP, which minimizes jitter and allows the implementation of a gentle analog filter with high slew rate and tight tolerances. The result is a noise floor that is well below that of the recording itself, and a fantastic linearity that reveals musical details you have never heard before.

Nativ Wave features a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter so you can customize the sound to your personal preference for different music genres, formats and your stereo system. Settings of the filter are linear or minimum phase, slow or fast roll-off, standard or apodizing attenuation.

The heart of Nativ Wave is its state-of-the-art digital-to-analog conversion, which is based on a fully balanced differential dual-mono design featuring two 24-bit/192kHz Burr-Brown DSD1792A DACs. The result is an extremely low noise floor, phenomenal linearity and a great dynamic range of > 127 dB.

On a board design level Nativ Wave perfect ensures signal integrity at all times, using pure copper tracings and keeping the signal path between the DAC and analog output as short as possible. All sound critical components are electrically and galvanically isolated, with additional shielding to reduce interference within the chassis to an absolute minimum.

Left and right channel are entirely separated, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, state-of-the-art Crystal oscillators and analog circuitry. This maximizes channel separation and virtually eliminates crosstalk. Experience your music with a level of detail and dynamics that will make your hair stand on end.

Nativ Wave employs a sophisticated audio clock management system that is based on two of the world’s best ultra-low phase noise oscillators from Crystek. The dual-clock design supports multiples of 44.1kHz (22.5792MHz) and 48kHz (24.5760MHz) independently, and uses best-in-class logic arrays for data reclocking to ensure that the signal to the DAC is absolutely accurate and cleaned of virtually all jitter and low phase noise. Nativ Wave automatically assesses the quality of all inputs, measures their frequency and jitter, and then routes the input to the best clock regeneration system.

To maximize the acoustic performance all analog processing is done with high-performance operational amplifier modules from Texas Instruments. Additionally, German-made WIMA® FP Polypropylene Capacitors were chosen for their superior clarity and dynamic ability.

Two output levels —2 and 7.5 Vrms— with a relay switching system allow connectivity to a wide range of low- or high-gain preamplifiers, power amplifiers as well as headphones. No servomechanisms or AC coupling capacitors are used to avoid sound degradation of any kind.

Built for the best headphones. In addition to being a world-class Digital-to-Analog Converter Nativ Wave also incorporates a high-end balanced headphone amplifier, driven by the same cutting-edge dual-mono DAC design with two 24-bit/192kHz DSD1792A and using an advanced 100% solid-state topology. This remarkable headphone amplifier is not just a side product, but easily competes with the best standalone headphone amplifiers.

Plenty of power. Our headphone amp delivers high output power (up to 1.75W) over various loads, enough to drive even the most demanding headphones. The advanced amplifier design uses a high-speed buffer with a slew rate above 2000 V/ms to prevent odd order distortion anomalies.

The Achilles heel of many amplifiers is their volume control. It is most often digital for reasons of convenience, causing a loss of resolution and dynamics. Nativ Wave performs volume control purely in the analog domain and is completely bit-perfect, at any volume level. It features one stereo volume control chip per channel in differential mode, virtually eliminating noise and minimizing THD.

The design of Nativ Wave is a refreshing alternative to the “synchronized” look of most USB DACs. We hand-built Nativ Wave in small production lots and only use exclusive materials, including premium-grade 7000 series aluminum with fine anodize finish, Japanese-made Asahi® glass and solid American wood.

Nativ Pulse

The secret to any great sounding audio component is a stable and absolutely noise-free power supply. Nativ Pulse features a highly sophisticated linear circuit design with dedicated supplies for the analog and digital sections, ultra-low noise linear regulators, custom-built toroidal transformer and a state-of-the-art AC power line filter to get the maximum performance out of your Nativ DAC.

Nativ Pulse is separated into dedicated power supplies for the audio stages and the digital circuits. To protect the sensitive analog stages we use best-in-class regulators that minimize ripple and eliminate jitter. With more than 50,000 μ-Farad of storage capacitance Nativ Pulse delivers virtually unlimited impulse current and an excellent transient and bass response, allowing Nativ Wave to go from absolute silence to explosive dynamics in the blink of an eye.

It's all about the timing.

The ultra-precise clock generator on Nativ Wave is an engineering marvel and is –like all clocks– highly susceptible to noise. Nativ Pulse employs a dedicated supply to power the sensitive digital clocking circuits on the DAC modules, and a dedicated linear regulator for the clock generator to virtually eliminate jitter. A total of 25 separate low- noise linear regulators minimize noise and interference between all circuits.

Even digital hates noise.

A separate high-end Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) delivers stable power to non-audio components, featuring a high efficiency rating and ripple noise below 50mVp-p at full load (5A).

Made exclusively for Nativ by Nuvotem Talema® this exceptional multi-rail toroidal transformer provides clean and stable power and keeps noise contamination to a minimum. It uses a high-mass, low-profile, low magnetic field design and is electrostatically shielded to suppress power line disturbances.

A great power supply design is all about minimizing noise, and that starts with the power line. Nativ Pulse incorporates a best-in-class AC power line filter from Swiss company Schurter, with an ultra-high noise attenuation to virtually eliminate all EMI/RFI noise from the AC mains.

We put Nativ Pulse in a separate enclosure for good reasons. The anti-magnetic chassis protects the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration and isolates the sensitive audio electronics in Nativ Wave from electromagnetic and mechanical interference. It also eliminates the negative effects that thermal radiation can have over the long term.
