Standard Digital to Analog Converter
– Switcher represents a milestone in
digital conversion technology.
Contained within the design are tech-
nologies that Apogee pioneered, such
as low jitter clocking and critically-
matched filter designs. With its
comprehensive multiple digital input
selection and expansive feature set,
the DA-2000 will become the center
of your digital monitoring system.
The DA-2000 offers 20 bits of reso-
lution with clear, precise definition and
locks to sample rates from 32kHz to
54kHz. A suite of functions to confirm
correct operation includes a built-in
precision digital oscillator for setting
optimum audio levels and status bit
derived word-length indication. Both

balanced and unbalanced outputs are
included to interface to the widest
range of equipment possible.
The chassis of the DA-2000 is based
on new design principles that present
the controls clearly and cohesively for
quick setup and operation. The backlit
front panel is ideal for low light applica-
tions such as the studio or mastering
environments.
The DA-2000 is designed to form
the hub of your digital audio moni-
toring environment. With four AES/EBU
and two S/PDIF coax inputs, all individ-
ually switched from the front panel, all
your major pieces of stereo digital
equipment can be routed to one device
for the highest quality reference moni-
torin, without the need for external
digital switchers and routing.
Switching between inputs is
completely click-free, even if unsynchro-
nized, and invalid inputs are muted to
avoid monitor damage.
Both balanced and unbalanced
analog outputs are provided, allowing
the maximum of flexibility when
hooking up monitor amplifiers, consoles
The Apogee DA-2000 includes four AES/EBU and two S/PDIF inputs, all individually
selected from the front panel. Balanced and unbalanced analog outputs are provided
for the most flexible interfacing possible to monitoring equipment.
