NOTE
When shipped new from the factory, the AD/DA converter upsampling
function is enabled. This will cause operation with a 4x sampling
rate when the sampling rate is 44.1/48 kHz. See the
Reference Guide to disable it.
Upsampling
When the original sampling rate is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, internal
processing can allow operation at 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz (enabled
when shipped new from the factory). This eliminates aliasing noise
from the sound during A/D conversion and makes the sound with D/
A conversion even clearer than before.
LINE OUTPUT jacks
Connect monitors for
multichannel monitoring or
external effects.
These support balanced
output with 1/4-inch phone
