Author Topic: DTS XD10 AES/EBU option Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-06-2015 10:17 AM                     Does anyone recall how much was quoted for the AES/EBU option for the XD10 units? By the way: Were these things sold more often in the US? Here in Germany I have only come across one in many years. And I still have no idea, why it was installed.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

One could order the XD10/XD10P combination and they would be connected DIGITALLY so it was "better." Fewer D/A A/D stages. With the "combo" deal, they threw in the Digital out card "for free." The list price for the combo deal was $10,200 US. So think about that the next time anyone bitches about the cost of the various DCinema audio offerings! I think the XD10P was very poorly named...a mistake they didn't make on the AP20. AP10 would have been a good name. Any who...the XD10P though nearly identical to the USL JSD80, while having the digital audio input standard, didn't do the AC3 decoding that a JSD80 would do.  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-06-2015 01:33 PM                     Thank you, Steve! If anyone wonders what this $495.00 board looks like, here is a photo of it: (I hope this complies with the board rules; on the rules page it says under 550px wide, on the upload page it says there is a maximum of 800px. I guess the last one is the more up-to-date information?)  |  IP: Logged
