Vivaldi Upsampler Manual v2_0x

 

Page 38 

English version

 

 

USB Interfaces 

Both USB interfaces operate in True Asynchronous USB mode, which makes the Vivaldi Upsampler 
immune to clock jitter from the computer / sound server. The Upsampler uses its own internal clock or 
locks to the Master Clock connected to one of the 

Word Clock

 inputs. Feedback through the USB 

cable to the computer controls the data delivery rate. 

The 

USB1

 interface on a ‘B’ type connector (V) will accept PCM data at up to 24 bits / 384kS/s from a 

Windows™ PC, Apple Mac™ PC or sound server equipped with a suitable USB2.0 interface. The 
interface will also accept DSD/64 or DSD/128 data packaged in DoP format.  

!

 

We have tested this interface with several common formats running on Windows™ 10, 
Windows™ 8.1, Windows™ 7, Windows™ Vista (SP2) and Apple Mac™ OSX 10.10 with 
various PCM streaming programs but we cannot accept responsibility for correct 
operation with all source devices, operating systems or software. 

 

The 

Settings > USB Class

 menu page can set the interface to 

Class 1

 (up to 96kS/s 

without a special driver) or 

Class 2

 (up to 384kS/s, no driver is required for OSX 10.6.3 

onwards, the 

dCS

 USB Class 2 driver is required for Windows). 

 

Operation at 352.8 or 384kS/s on Windows PCs requires the 2016 version of the 

dCS

 

USB Class 2 Driver. If you have updated your Upsampler software from v1.xx, un-install 
any earlier version of the Driver from your Windows PC, download the updated Driver 
from 

www.dcsltd.co.uk

 and install it. 

The 

USB2

 interface (W) on an ‘A’ type connector can stream PCM music files in most popular formats 

at up to 24 bits / 384kS/s or up to DSD/128 from a USB Flash Drive. With a Flash Drive connected, a 
basic browser (see page 

28

) navigates to the music files and selects the file to be played. After closing 

the browser, the name of the file is displayed, with a Play or Pause icon and the elapsed playing time. 

Mains-powered USB hard disk drives in FAT16 or FAT32 format may be used in the same way. The 
interface will not read drives in NTFS format or other formats. 

 

Test interface 

The 

Test

 interface (X) is an RS232 interface with two modes, set by the 

Settings > RS232

 menu page.  

•

 

B

inary mode is used to remotely control the unit during automated production testing at 

dCS

.  

•

 

T

ext mode is for use with a household automation system. If you would like to use this mode, 

please download the list of remote control commands from 

www.dcsltd.co.uk

. 

The interface is designed to be used with a “straight through” cable, wired pin 1 to pin 1, etc. 

The pin connections are: 

•

  Pin 2 – 

dCS

 unit transmit 

•

  Pin 3 – 

dCS

 unit receive 

•

  Pin 5 –  ground 

•

  Shell – cable screen & drain wire 

 

Mains inlet 

Power is connected via a standard IEC320 connector (Y), protected by a fuse and isolated by a 2-pole 
power switch. 

 

Label 

The label (Z) states the unit’s serial number and the nominal voltage to which the unit is set. It is 
important to quote the serial number if you need assistance.
