5-bit, 2.822 or 3.07MS/s oversampled, dCS patented Ring DAC topology.
IEEE 1394 interface on 2x 6-way connectors. The interface accepts dCS-
encrypted DSD (1 bit data at 2.822MS/s) from up to 4 sources.
2x AES/EBU on 3-pin female XLR connectors. Each will accept up to 24 bit
PCM at 32 -96kS/s, OR as a Dual AES pair at 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s.
3x SPDIF on 2x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each will accept up to
24 bit PCM at 32 - 96kS/s.
1x SPDIF optical on a Toslink connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32,
44.1 or 48kS/s. This input is not guaranteed to operate at 88.2 or 96kS/s.
1x SDIF-2 interface on 2x BNC connectors, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at
32 - 96kS/s or SDIF-2 DSD (auto-selected). If the unit is not in Master mode,
this interface requires a compatible word clock input, locked to the data rate.
Word Clock Input on 1x BNC connector, accepts standard word clock at 32,
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kHz. The data rate can be the same as the clock rate or
an exact multiple (0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x) of the clock rate. Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. In Master mode, a TTL-compatible
44.1kHz word clock is available on this output, it is not temperature
compensated.
Fs = 32kS/s
Fs = 44.1 or 48kS/s
Fs = 88.2 or 96kS/s
Fs = 176.4 or 192kS/s
DSD
Better than –110dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz unweighted.
Better than –100dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz.
Better than –80dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz.
2V rms or 6V rms on all outputs for a full-scale input, set in the menu.
1 stereo pair on 2x 3-pin male XLR connectors (pin 2 = hot, pin 3 = cold).
These outputs are electronically balanced and floating, the signal balance
ratio at 1kHz is better than 40dB. Output impedance is 3Ω, maximum load is
600Ω (a 10kΩ load is recommended).
1 stereo pair on 2x RCA Phono connectors. Output impedance is 52Ω,
maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ load is recommended).
460mm (18.0") long x 405mm (15.9") deep x 73mm (2.9") high. Allow extra
depth for cable connectors. Weight: 11.3kg (24.9lbs).
Internally set to either 100, 115/120, 220 or 230/240V AC, 49 – 62Hz.
Power consumption: 22W typical, 30W maximum.
