Sonic Focus technology can currently be experienced and enjoyed on millions of PCs worldwide and will soon be available in numerous consumer electronics devices.
Bel Canto ULTRA-DOCK
The Bel Canto ULTRA-DOCK maximizes your iPod music and movie experience, utilizing Sonic Focus™ technology to upscale and refine compressed music and soundtracks to 7.1 channel / 96kHz / 24-bit quality. Other "high-end" docks ignore the fundamental problem with using the iPod as a content source - audio fidelity is degraded when music files are compressed. The old adage "garbage in, garbage out" rings true with other solutions that simply pass the compressed audio through to the speakers. 
The ULTRA-DOCK combines Bel Canto's exquisite hardware design with Sonic Focus patented compressed-audio refinement technology. Sonic Focus transforms stereo audio to a lifelike 7.1 surround sound and re-creates nuances and subtleties of the original performance that are commonly lost in data compression. Sparing no expense, the ULTRA-DOCK also includes quality hardware components: Analog Devices AD21369 with a 32-bit DSP core, 96kHz / 24-bit ADCs, and DACs.

SoundMAX® BlackHawk from Analog Devices
The PC has become the center of audio storage and distribution. Music lovers everywhere have migrated their content libraries from fixed media, such as CDs, to the PC for ease of customization and portability. Unfortunately, many consumers are unaware that they are sacrificing audio quality for the convenience of smaller file sizes. Audio that is degraded by data compression lacks the intensity, detail, and subtleties of the original performance. The end result can leave the listener with a flat, thin soundstage and can exhibit unwanted audio artifacts, all of which can lead to listener fatigue.
