  • Page 7: Part I- Operating Instructions

    DA2002 Operation PART I: Operating Instructions Operation of the Model DA2002 Digital to Analog Converter requires the use of two push button switches located on the front panel: POLARITY inverts the absolute polarity of the signal. INPUT SELECT controls selection of digital inputs to the DAC.
  • Page 8: Analog Outputs

    DA2002 Operation Analog Outputs The LEFT OUTPUT and RIGHT OUTPUT XLR signals are factory set to provide Balanced analog signals (signal between pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR connectors). Operation in unbalanced mode (signal at pin 2 and ground at pin 3) is possible by changing the internal jumpers J8 and J10 located behind the XLR analog output connectors inside the case.
  • Page 9: Turn-On Sequence

    Most DAC’s contains relays for the purpose of muting the output during turn on (allowing the DAC to settle to proper operating conditions). The DA2002 contains no relays, in order to avoid signal degradation associated with relay contacts. The unit minimizes “turn-on spikes” by incorporating very slow tracking power supplies for its output stage, thus disabling the drive capability during turn on.

    The DA2002 features a very low jitter PLL Mode that prevents jitter in the input digital audio signal from degrading DA conversion quality. The PLL mode is recommended for operation of the DA2002 with inputs of 88.2 or 96 kHz. The default setting is PLL mode and is indicated by the Sample Frequency indicator slowly blinking.

    DA2002 Theory of Operation Part II: Theory of Operation The simplified block diagram (figure 1) shows the basic building blocks. Oven Control The PCM DAC is constructed of custom made laser trimmed thin film resistor networks; yet any resistor is subject to short term drift due to temperature variations and long term drift due to component aging.
  • Page 12: Timing And Deglitcher

    Calibrating a DA2002 for the first time (at the factory) often exceeds 25 minutes. Once calibrated, the settings are stored in non volatile ram for future startup point of reference, thus all future adjustments are initialized to the last settings.
  • Page 13: Jitter Removal

    While some of the jitter content is random, much is due to coupling of the data itself into the receiver circuitry. The DA2002 uses a two stage PLL circuit; the first one is based on a tuned circuit approach, and the second utilizes a narrow lock-range. The combination of the two provides enhanced jitter removal.
