Software History
This manual is for
Delius
software version 2.3x.
Version 2.3x differs from 2.2x versions as follows:
In PCM mode,
Delius
can now lock to an external word clock that is at an exact
multiple of the sample rate. For example:
•
with a data rate of 96kS/s, the word clock may be at 32, 48 or 96kHz
(previously 96kHz only).
•
with Dual AES data at 176.4kS/s, the word clock may be at 44.1 or 88.2kHz
(previously 88.2kHz only).
•
with Dual AES data at 192kS/s, the word clock may be at 32, 48 or 96kHz
(previously 96kHz only).
Note that DSD mode still requires a 44.1kHz word clock only.
Version 2.2x differs from 2.1x versions as follows:
•
(Units with 1394 option only)
Delius
responds to status messages sent over
the 1394 interface from a
Verdi
(v1.2x) to allow automatic switching
between SACD and CD modes. This also allows
Delius
to report any cabling
faults.
•
1394 Src
menu deleted – 1394 sources are selected with the
Input
button
or automatically selected by a
Verdi
.
•
Clock
menu deleted. In Master mode,
Delius
outputs a Wordclock at
44.1kHz only.
Wordclock Out
is disabled in
Slave
or
Sync
modes.
•
Part No.
menu deleted.
•
After
a
Factory
reset, the inputs are set up to match the other
dCS
units in
the system.
•
1394 operation generally improved, system messages changed.
Version 2.1x differs from 2.0x versions as follows:
•
menu order rearranged.
•
improved
IEEE
1394
interface behaviour.
•
Reset Sync
menu added.
Version 2.0x differs from 1.1x versions in supporting DSD at 2.822MS/s over
the optional IEEE
1394
interface.
(Upgrader’s note: the
1394
interface hardware may be retrofitted to any unit.)
Version 1.13 differs from version 1.11 in supporting synchronisation to the
Wordclock
Input.
(Upgrader’s note: on units manufactured before February 2001, the
Wordclock
Input was labelled
OPTION
or was blanked off.)
Version 1.11 differs from version 1.0x as follows:
•
in supporting Master Mode clock operation (it can give out a clock for CD
players, for example, to lock to),
•
in supporting updates of the software by CD,
•
and in offering more filters (6 instead of 4 at 176.4 kS/s and 192 kS/s)
•
in allowing partial resets.
