monitor mixer will be completely bypassed. Once this assignment is made, you

Transferring from Audiophile 2496 to DAT, monitoring
with DAT
1. Connect the Audiophile's S/PDIF Out to the DAT's coaxial S/PDIF Input using
a good quality cable.
2. Connect the DAT analog outputs to some type of amplified sound system. The
sound system should be equipped with speakers or headphones.
3. Because you will be playing back at the recorded sample rate, you will want to
set the Audiophile's master clock to use the Audiophile's internal crystal. Do this
by opening the Hardware Settings page of the Delta Control Panel software and
under Master Clock, selecting "Internal Xtal." Also, under the Codec Sample
Rate section you should uncheck "Rate Locked" if it is previously checked. This
allows for more flexible sample rate playback.
4. In order to verify proper S/PDIF Output routing, open the Patchbay/Router page
of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out S/PDIF" column, select the radio
button named "WavOut S/PDIF." Now everything that is sent by your software
to the "WavOut S/PDIF" device will be routed to the hardware S/PDIF output,
and consequently to the DAT.
5. Next let's make sure the S/PDIF output format is correct. Open the S/PDIF page
of the control panel software.
"Consumer." Uncheck "Advanced" if it is checked previously. Now click on the
"Restore Defaults" button to set the default S/PDIF outgoing status bits. This
will disable copy protection and also set the emphasis to "none," allowing the
DAT to accept and record the audio properly.
6. Within your recording software, select "WavOut S/PDIF Delta-AP" as the audio
output device.
7. Start your DAT recording and then start your software playing. You should be
able to hear the DAT material through your sound system. This verifies that the
digital audio is making it into the DAT correctly.
