dCS proprietary Ring DAC
UPnP Network interface on an RJ45 connector streams music files from a
NAS or local computer over an Ethernet network. Supported file formats are:
• FLAC, AIFF & WAV – up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192,
352.8 or 384kS/s.
• ALAC – up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 & 192kS/s.
• AAC, MP3, WMA & OGG - up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1 or 48kS/s.
• DFF, DSF & DoP – DSD/64 & DSD/128
Supports various Online Streaming Services.
The interface will accept audio data streamed from a suitable mobile device
via Apple AirPlay at 44.1or 48kS/s, also Android devices running UPnP
software.
The Network interface operates in Asynchronous mode.
USB1 interface on a B-type connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at:
• 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s when set to USB Class 1 (no driver required).
• 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or 384kS/s when set to USB Class 2
(no special driver is required for OSX 10.6.3 onwards, load the latest dCS
USB Class 2 driver for Windows).
• In USB Class 2, passes through DSD/64 & DSD/128 in DoP format.
The USB1 interface operates in Asynchronous USB mode.
USB2 interface on A-type connector, streams audio files from a USB flash
drive up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or 384kS/s or
DSD/64 or DSD/128. Compatible formats are listed in the UPnP Network
interface section above.
The USB2 interface operates in Asynchronous USB mode.
2x AES/EBU on 3-pin female XLR connectors.
Each input will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or
192kS/s or DSD/64 in DoP format,
used as a Dual AES pair at 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or 384kS/s or dCS-
encrypted DSD or DSD/64 & DSD/128 in DoP format.
2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each will accept up to
24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s or DSD/64 in DoP format.
1x SPDIF optical on a Toslink connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s.
2x Word Clock Inputs on 2x BNC connectors, accept standard word clock at
44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kHz. The data rate can be the same as the
clock rate or an exact multiple (0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) of the clock rate.
Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. In Master mode, a TTL-compatible
word clock appears on this output, not temperature compensated. The word
clock frequency is either 44.1 or 48kHz, depending in the incoming data rate.
Full decoding and rendering of MQA data from the Network and USB2
inputs. Final rendering of unfolded MQA data only from the other inputs.
