Oversampling
A number of special settings are available for the
Music Receiver’s
D/A
converter; they are designed to fine-tune the characteristics of your amplifier to
suit your listening preferences.
The
Music Receiver
can exploit two different filter types offering different tonal
characters:
Oversampling 1
is a classic
FIR
filter with an extremely linear frequency
response (FIR long).
Oversampling 2
is a peak-optimised filter – superb in 'timing' and dynamics
(FIR short).
Please refer to the Chapter
'
Glossary / Supplementary Information, Digital
Filter
'
for an explanation of the different filter types.
Recording with the Music Receiver
To create a recording with a recorder connected to the
Music Receiver’s
tape
connections
(REC)
first
you have to select the recording source by pressing the
appropriate source button e.g.
. After that start the recording function of
your recording-device.
If your recorder is equipped with a monitor function you can monitor the
recording by pressing the
button on the remote control or by a long
button press on the
button on the front panel. By doing so the recording
source remains unchanged but the listening source will be switched over to the
recorders monitor output so that you can instantly monitor the recording in
progress.
While recording the volume level of the
Music Receiver
should not be
increased to values higher than 64. If this value is exceeded the level at the
record-output will change.
The Music Receiver as a D/A Converter
General Information on
D/A Converter Operation
The
Music Receiver
can be used as a high-quality D/A converter for
other devices such as satellite receiver, digital radio etc. which are fitted with
poor-quality converters or no converter at all. The
Music Receiver
features five
digital inputs on the back panel to allow this usage.
Devices with an electrical co-axial output or an optical light-pipe output can be
connected to the digital inputs of the
Music Receiver
. The
Music Receiver
accepts digital stereo signals conforming to the S/P-DIF norm with sampling
rates of 32 to 96 kSps at the optical TOS-Link inputs and 32 - 192 kSps at the
coaxial SP/DIF inputs.
D/A Converter Operation
Selecting a
D/A Converter Source
Now repeatedly press the
button on the front panel, or press the
button on the remote control handset, to select the digital input to which you
have already connected the source device which is to be played.
As soon as the source device delivers digital music data, the
Music Receiver
automatically adjusts itself to the format and sampling rate of the signal, and
you will hear the music.
Screen Display
During D/A converter operations the
Music Receiver’s
integral screen displays
the characteristics of the digital input signal.
