The Crane Song Interstellar AD Converter is a stereo AD converter that features the sub Pico second clocking technology of their Quantum converter. This provides the lowest jitter in pro audio that is known. The Interstellar provides unparalleled accuracy and DSP based tonal saturation for a converter that is flexible and impressive.
The Crane Song Interstellar complement’s Crane Song’s Solaris DA Converter and can work as a bi-directional USB audio interface when connecting to a DAC (Solaris included) via S/PDIF. In USB mode, the computer will set the sample rate of the Word Clock output while in standalone mode, the clock is set by the front panel controls. Crane Song’s Quantum technology provides extremely accurate sub-picosecond jitter rejection which translates in superior imaging, depth of sound and detailed transient response. Three DSP-based harmonic saturation controls offering a choice between Triode and Pentode Tubes as well as Tape saturation adding analogue flavor if required. For best sonic and low jitter results use Interstellar as the master clock in your set up. A warm up period of 1/2 hour to 45 minutes will give best results.

Interstellar
Mar 15th 2023Outstanding!!! I also have Crane Song Spider & HEDD, and just got the Interstellar. Clocking everything to this device has made the biggest perceivable difference EVER in my system. And the A to D conversion is outstanding! Better than my Prism, Burl & Avid in my humble opinion. Highly recommend! (although i would like to keep it as my secret weapon:)
