“The Merlot does not rely on standard chips for digital processing, but utilizes Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) programmed with proprietary algorithms developed by Andreas. “The use of the FPGA approach allows a higher precision arithmetic than feasible in standard off-the-shelf components, but also new and unique algorithms that no other manufacturer has.” Another technology used in the Merlot is PDFAS (Playback Designs Frequency Arrival System) a technology developed by Andreas Koch that eliminates the need for conventional PLLs, also known as “Phase Locked Loops” to reduce jitter. Playback Designs claims that their PDFAS, regardless of the source, reduces jitter to a level far lower than what can be achieved with conventional PLL designs.”
