Indigo, by Chord Electronics
The Indigo is the very latest in our digital product development specifically designed to be the universal control centre for both digital and analogue sources. It takes our most advanced technology and combines it into one convenient full sized ultimate product. The Indigo is fully featured including a revolutionary digital iPod dock with wireless radio link option.

The digital heart of the Indigo uses the latest generation of field programmable gate array devices (FPGA) as found in the QBD76. The FPGA handles the switching of SPDIF inputs, all digital SPDIF decoding, digital PLL, RAM buffer controller, WTA filtering, and the 5th generation Pulse Array DAC. The improvements to the Pulse Array DAC have been further complimented with improved power supply design and layout giving the very best digital to analogue conversion. Digital inputs include SPDIF, AES, optical, USB, iPod and of course our latest developments with Bluetooth audio. Using our custom designed Bluetooth receiver we have been able to extract the digital audio information and input this directly into our DAC technology. Unlike the low quality audio seen from other Bluetooth devices this gives us much better performance and enables CD like transfer of music from the Bluetooth device. Using your A2DP equipped mobile phone or computer you can connect wirelessly to the Indigo.

As well as supporting digital connectivity the conveniently situated iPod dock features the standard analogue connection and charging for use with any iPod. If you have the USB input connected to a personal computer then you can also sync and transfer music to the connected iPod. There is an inbuilt USB hub with two additional front panel connectors so that further devices can be connected to your computer via the Indigo. An analogue input is provided for non digital sources via balanced XLR or RCA phono connectors and there are both direct line level and volume controlled analogue outputs. Using the line level output AV Bypass is possible. The Indigo is fully featured with ground breaking technology to give the very best sound performance from any connected device.
