1394 interface
Connect the Upsampler’s 1394 output to the 1394 interface on a
dCS
DAC. Use the
OUTPUT
button
on the front panel to set the output format to DSD. If the DAC and the Upsampler are not locked to a
master clock, also connect the Upsampler’s
W/Clock Out
put to the DAC’s Word Clock Input. Use the
DAC’s
INPUT
button to select the
1394
input. If necessary, set the DAC to sync to its Word Clock
Input. The DAC will lock and display
PUP
.
!
The Upsampler’s 1394 interface is unlikely to work with other manufacturer’s 1394
interfaces due to proprietary encryption.
!
You can connect 1394 cables in a “tree”, but do not connect them in a loop as this
prevents the system initialising.
