D-Route Overview

D-Route is a networkable MADI router. Three full duplex MADI I/O ports and 8 channels of balanced analogue in and out offer a highly flexible interface across multiple applications.

Ethernet control is via the open source OSC protocol. Multiple control surfaces can simultaneously access and monitor the router over LAN or WAN. A PC based control GUI (right) can be used to setup and access the full feature set of the router.

D-Route provides eight built in analogue inputs and outputs on industry standard 25 pin D' sub connectors. The onboard analogue to digital converters operate in DSD mode for superior sonic performance. The converters borrow design cues from the renowned GXA8 and GXD8 external converters.

D-Route includes three full duplex MADI I/O ports as standard. Each port has optical and coaxial connectors available with both optical and coax driven simultaneously on the output side.

The MADI ports can operate in standard/extended mode for interfacing to third party devices. But for maximum performance the MADI ports can operate in the proprietary Desono mode. In this mode up to 64 channels of DSD data can be carried over one optical fiber or coax cable.

A primary application for D-Route is to act as a bridge between the Desono MADI format and standard/extended MADI streams to third party devices

D-Route has silent input and output router switching. On the input side any one of up to 200 available inputs can be selected. On the output side, any output can be driven to one or more of the 200 available outputs.
