The MP 3000 HV as D/A Converter
General Information on
D/A Converter Operation
The
MP 3000 HV
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
MP 3000 HV
features two optical
and four electrical digital inputs on the back panel to allow this usage.
A USB-DAC input on the back panel permits to use the
MP 3000 HV
as D/A
converter for computers.
You can connect devices with electrical co-axial, BNC, AES-EBU or optical
light-pipe output to the digital inputs of the
MP 3000 HV
. At the optical inputs
Digital In 1 and Digital In 2 and the co-ax input Digital In 3 the
MP 3000 HV
accepts digital stereo signals conforming to the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling
rates of 32 to 96 kHz. At the BNC and AES-EBU inputs Digital 4 1 to Digital In 3
the range of sampling rates is from 32 to 192 kHz.
The
MP 3000 HV
accepts digital stereo signals with sampling rates 44,1 192
kHz (up to 96 kHz for USB1 mode PC interfaces).
If audio files with sample rates higher than 96 kHz shall be played back through
the
MP 3000 HV
USB2 mode must be used. For this appropriate drivers must
be installed on your computer first (see chapter. 'Driver installation') and the
MP 3000 HV
must be set to USB 2 mode (see chapter
'Basic settings of the
MP 3000 HV'
).
D/A Converter Operation
Selecting a
D/A Converter Source

MP 3000 HV
as listening source on your amplifier.
Choose the digital input to which you have already connected the source
device which is to be played. by pressing the
-button on the
FD100
remote or by turning the rotary source selector on the front panel of the
MP 3000 HV
.
As soon as the source device delivers digital music data, the
MP 3000 HV
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
MP 3000 HV
integral screen displays the
characteristics of the digital input signal.
