AMPLING
Your new upsampling board has the capability to upsample to 96 kHz or 132.3 kHz.
The upgrade is configured to upsample to 96 kHz from MSB. An extra oscillator is
installed on the upsampling board, and can be selected instead of the standard
oscillator to increase the sampling rate from 96 kHz to 132.3 kHz (3 times the CD rate
of 44.1 kHz). This is the highest rate the LINK III can upsample to. No frequency
LED lights up when the 132 kHz frequency is selected. Admittedly, we are driving
both the decoder and DAC beyond their design limits, but our experience at normal
room temperature conditions has shown the higher speed upgrade works very well.
If your environment is too hot (the LINK sits on top of your amplifier), you may
need to install the normal 96K oscillator.
To change the frequency, follow the instructions to open the cover of the LINK.
Inside the LINK notice the small upsampling board installed in the main board,
shown below. Two jumper positions are available between the large metal oscilla-
tors. They are labeled 96K and 132K. As shipped, the jumper is located in the 96K
position. Remove the jumper and move to the 132K position.
HDCD U
PGRADE
The HDCD can be installed at the same time as the upsampling upgrade as long as
it is configured for 96k not 132k upsampling.
