The digital filter settings SMOOTH and STEEP can be set according to your personal
preference. Technically speaking, the setting STEEP indicates a steep filter characteristic at
the upper end of the frequency band, leading both to a flat amplitude frequency response and
a rather strong phase rotation.
SMOOTH
however leads to a less steep filter characteristic by
showing a slightly earlier attenuation of the amplitude frequency response with almost no phase
rotation.
Please note that a chosen filter setting is only true for a selected input and is being recalled
every time you select the respective input again, even after the device has completey been
switched off.
3.3.3 Set resolution (USB B input)
With
USB B digital input selected and a digital source connected (such as your PC or Mac),
you have the option to switch between
LOW RES
and
HIGH RES
modes using the
VALUE
menu buttons.
If a digital signal from a computer (PC or Mac) is connected to the USB B digital input (22), you
can choose between two different modes (
LOW RES
or
HIGH RES
) by pressing the menu
buttons 8 and 9.
LOW RES can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to 96kHz
without the need for an additional audio driver on your Windows PC or Mac.
HIGH RES
can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to
384kHz/24Bit (PCM) without the need to install an audio driver on your Mac. If you are using a
Windows PC you will need to install an additional driver which is available for download on the
respective product page at
www.avm.audio .
Please note that you need to select the
HIGH RES
mode in order to play back DSD64 or
DSD128 files.
