•
The system is synchronised by a Clock running at
44.1kHz
. Set the Upsampler and DAC to sync
to WClk.
•
The Upsampler takes data from the Transport or the laptop, it is set to upsample to
DSD
.
•
The DAC takes DSD data from the Transport or Upsampler via
1394
,
•
As an alternative, connect Dual AES from Upsampler to DAC and upsample to 24/176.4.
