    24-BIT/16-BIT/UV22HR – When the unit sample rate is set to a range of 44.1-48k, the bit resolution of all digital outputs may be set to either 24-Bit or 16-Bit/UV22HR. When 16-Bit/UV22HR is selected, Apogee’s proprietary dither signal, UV22HR, is employed to encode 24-bit resolution in a 16-bit signal.
  • Page 14: Sample Rate Conversion

    Sample Rate Conversion - As the number of digital audio sample rates increases, the necessity for high quality conversion between these rates grows. For the first time on an Apogee product, sample rate conversion is offered on the Rosetta 200. To employ sample rate conversion: 1 Connect the source to one of the Rosetta 200’s digital inputs and set SOURCE (to Digital Outputs) to the...
