dCS-encrypted DSD data from Vivaldi, Rossini, Scarlatti, and Paganini Transports

•

DoP data (DSD/64 or DSD/128 over PCM)

►

For more information, see "Enabling and disabling Dual AES" on page 36.

Dual AES works correctly only when the source generates Dual AES data. It is not the
same as single AES data connected to both

AES1 and AES2.

SPDIF digital inputs

The

SPDIF 1 and SPDIF 2 inputs accept PCM data at up to 192 kS/s, or DSD/64 in DoP format.

SPDIF 3 is a Toslink optical receiver that accepts PCM data at up to 96 kS/s.

USB sockets

The

USB 1 socket is a galvanically isolated ‘B’ type socket. It accepts audio data from a

Windows

™

PC, Apple Mac

™

, or sound server.

The

USB 1 socket can operate in two audio classes:

•

Class 1, which accepts data at up to 96 kS/s. No additional drivers need to be
installed on the connected computer.

•

Class 2, which accepts data at up to 384 kS/s, or DSD/64 or DSD/128 in DoP format.
A dCS USB Class 2 driver needs to be installed on computers running Windows

™

versions before Windows

™

10 Creator's Update. No additional driver needs to be

installed on Apple desktops and notebooks running macOS 10.6.3 or above.

The

USB 1 socket has been tested with various PCM streaming programs on

Windows

™

10, Windows

™

8.1, and macOS 10.11. However, the socket may not work

with all devices, operating systems, or software.

►

For more information, see "Setting the USB audio class" on page 36.

The

USB 2 socket is an ‘A’ type socket. It can stream PCM music files in formats at up to 24 bits

/ 384 kS/s or DSD/128. The connected USB device must be both of the following:

•

A USB flash drive or low-powered USB hard drive, with the suggested maximum size of
32 GB

•

In FAT32 or unencrypted NTFS format

Both USB sockets work in true asynchronous USB mode, which ensures the unit is not affected
by clock jitter from connected devices.

Word clock inputs

The

WORDCLOCK IN 1 and WORDCLOCK IN 2 sockets accept standard word clock at 44.1, 48,

88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192 kHz from a Master Clock or the source equipment.

The unit can only lock when the clock frequency is the same as the data rate, or an exact
multiple of the data rate.

The sockets are used only for synchronisation and do not carry digital audio data.
