dCS Rossini Upsampling Network DAC User Manual
Network Interface
The
Network Main
connection on an RJ45 socket (T) allows the DAC to act as a UPnP
streaming music data from a NAS drive or a local computer over a standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet
network. The DAC can stream music files at up to 24 bits / 384kS/s or DSD/64 or DSD/128 under the
control of a dCS Rossini App running on a suitable iPad or iPhone, (see page 10) or other UPnP
control point. The Network interface runs in asynchronous mode.
The
Network Loop
connection on a second RJ45 socket (S) is intended to be used as a 10/100
Ethernet loop-though to other dCS units.
The RJ45 socket's contacts can be damaged by accidentally inserting the wrong
!
connector (e.g. a USB type B or type A). To avoid this, we suggest leaving the dust
cover fitted when not in use and connecting the RJ45 cable immediately after removal.
IR Remote Receiver
This secondary IR remote receiver (U) is intended to be used with a household automation system, as
an alternative to RS232.
RS232 interface
The
RS232
interface (V) on a 9-way male D-type connector is an RS232 interface with two operating
modes, set by the
Unit Settings > RS232
• Binary mode is used to remotely control the unit during automated production testing at dCS. The
baud rate is 4800.
• Text mode is for use with a household automation system. The baud rate is 115200. If you would
like to use this mode, please send a HELP command to see a list of available commands.
The interface is designed to be used with a "straight through" cable, wired pin 1 to pin 1, etc.
The pin connections are:
• Pin 2 – dCS unit transmit
• Pin 3 – dCS unit receive
• Pin 5 – ground
• Shell – cable screen & drain wire
An RS232 connection from the DAC to the Rossini Clock's RS232 Loop connector acts as a power
link, allowing the two units to be powered on or off together.
Mains inlet
Power is connected via a standard IEC320 connector (W), protected by a fuse and isolated by a 2-
pole power switch.
Label
The label (X) states the unit's serial number and the nominal voltage to which the unit is set. It is
important to quote the serial number if you need assistance.
