D/A Converter Settings
A number of special settings are available for the
MP 2500 R
D/A converter;
they are designed to fine-tune the characteristics of your amplifier to suit your
listening preferences.
The following settings can only be called up if PCM-encoded audio is
being played.
Calling up and operating
the D/A converter options
Briefly press the
button on the remote control handset in order to call up
the D/A converter set-up options. This action opens a set-up window in which
the various options are displayed.
Now use the
/
buttons to select a set-up option.
In each case the displayed option can be altered using the

DSP set-up option
Oversampling (OVS)
The
MP 2500 R
can exploit four different filter types offering different tonal
characters:
Oversampling
FIR
long
is a classic FIR filter with an extremely linear
frequency response.
Oversampling
FIR
short
is a FIR filter with improved peak handling.
Oversampling
Bezier / FIR
is a Bezier interpolator combined with a IIR filter.
This process produces a result very similar to an analogue system.
Oversampling
Bezier
is a pure Bezier interpolator
– offering perfect “timing”
and dynamics.
Please refer to the Chapter
'Technical description - Digital filters /
for an explanation of the different filter types.
DSP set-up option
Output phase
With particular instruments or voices the human ear is certainly capable of
detecting whether absolute phase is correct or not. However, absolute phase is
not always correctly recorded.
In this menu item the phase of the signal can be changed from normal to
inverse phase and back.
The correction is carried out at the digital level, and has absolutely no adverse
effect on sound quality.
