USB operation
The Limetree NETWORK can play music from USB storage
media such as USB sticks or harddisks. For this purpose
the device is equipped with a USB host connector on the rear side.
The USB memory can be formatted in one of the following file sys-
tems: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 or ext4. The storage medium can
also be fed via the USB connector of the Limetree NETWORK, provided
the current draw of the device does not exceed 1.5 A. Thus standard
2.5“ USB harddisks can be connected directly without the need for a
separate power supply.
The USB host port may also be used for charging smartphones.

SOUND OPTIMIZATION BY DSD
RE-SAMPLING
DSD-Re-Sampling
The Limetree NETWORK uses a sophisticated
technology for improving the sound quality, the
so-called DSD mode. To activate it, simply press and hold the
toggle switch of the device for three seconds in the upper
position. The LED indicator will light up yellow.
In DSD mode all PCM data are converted into a high-resolution
1-bit signal, the so-called DSD (Direct Stream Digital). With
DSD re-sampling the converters act as a pure filter circuit
without DSP influence. Soundwise this 1-bit mode is more
transparent and more natural than the PCM operation.
When the DSD mode is inactive, the network player uses an
intelligent re-sampling and synchronizes the digital data by
means of an ultra-precise FemtoClock to eliminate any im-
pact by the clock jitter on the sound. The input data are trans-
ferred “bit-perfect“ to the converters.
