menu page (see page

•
If you are using a Vivaldi Master Clock, try turning the
Dither
feature on. Try changing the Clock
frequency to
88.2kHz
or
176.4kHz
. Please refer to the Vivaldi Master Clock manual for more
information.
•
If you have a Vivaldi Upsampler, try driving it with CD data from one of the Transport’s PCM
outputs and setting the Upsampler’s
Output
to
DSD
or
352.8
(DXD). Please refer to the Vivaldi
Upsampler manual for more information.

If you have a complete 4-box Vivaldi system, please see the Upsampler or DAC manuals for set-up
information.
•
If you turn on the
EasyPlay
feature in the Vivaldi DAC, loading a disc will automatically change the
DAC’s input to match the disc type. For example, loading an SACD can select the native DSD feed
from the Transport, while loading a CD can select the data from a Vivaldi Upsampler.
