  • Page 4: Design Features

    192 kHz, but is not guaranteed. The DAC-1 USB input will process signals up to 24 bit in length, and sample rates up to 96 kHz. The heart and soul of the DAC-1 uses the 8ch ESS chip in quad-differential mode meaning that there are actually 4 differential D-A conversion circuits for each channel in parallel.
  • Page 5: Setup Menu

    With a quick look at the setup options, you will quickly see how flexible the DAC-1 really is. With each input offering different output levels, you can choose the independent control of each source to best suit the needs of your system. As you will find, other setup options include display dimming options, automatic input scrolling, IIR Bandwidth, PCM Roll-off slope (fast/slow), and a default reset in case things get jumbled up.
  • Page 6: Front Panel Operation

    The front of the DAC-1 offers several features. You will notice a power button to turn the DAC on and off, as well as 2 others that are used for input scrolling. Across the DAC-1 display, you will see the selected input on the left and corresponding sample rate of the signal to the right.
  • Page 7: Bandwidth / Iir Settings

    1. Navigate to the Wyred 4 Sound website downloads page. http://www.wyred4sound.com/downloads.html 2. Locate the file titled “Asynchronous DAC-1 driver package” and click “download”. 3. Next click “Save” and be sure to note or specify the folder on your computer where the file will save to.

    DAC after all final connections have been made and checked. The input and output connections you will find on the DAC-1 are made of nothing but the best. The RCA (unbalanced) output, and Coax input jacks are made with high quality gold plated copper, and should be properly connected with interconnects of the same value.
  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    Wyred 4 Sound directly for further assistance. Because the DAC-1 is really an 8ch DAC inside, make sure that all sources (where applicable, ie: DVD players, cable/satellite boxes) are programmed in their setup menu to output 2ch PCM or stereo digital signals. In some cases, the DAC will actually try to decode multichannel formats, but will be unsuccessful because the DACs outputs are tied together internally.
