PECIFICATION
Digital inputs
USB interface on a B-type connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32,
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s. Operates in asynchronous mode.
AES3 on a 3-pin female XLR connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32,
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s.
2x SPDIF on 2x RCA Phono connectors. Each will accept up to 24 bit PCM
at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s.
Digital outputs
IEEE 1394 interface on 2x 6-way connectors. In DSD mode, the interface
outputs
dCS
-encrypted DSD (1 bit data at 2.822MS/s).
2x AES3 on 3-pin female XLR connectors. Each outputs 24 bit PCM at 32,
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kS/s,
OR
as a Dual AES pair at 88.2, 96, 176.4 or
192kS/s.
2x SPDIF on RCA Phono connectors. Each outputs 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1,
48, 88.2 or 96kS/s.
Clocking
Word Clock Input on 1x BNC connector, accepts standard word clock at 32,
44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kHz. Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector, outputs standard word clock at a
frequency equal to the (single wire) output data rate, or 44.1kHz when set to
output DSD.
Upsampling rates
Data from any input may be converted to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2,
96, 176.4 or 192kS/s or DSD (1 bit data at 2.822MS/s). The output sample
rate must be equal to or greater than the input sample rate.
Spurious responses
Better than -100dB0, 20Hz-20kHz
Optional filters
A choice of filter is available for 10 popular conversions, see page
22
for
details.
