Output sampling frequency
The DAD can process digital data on four different sample rates (frequencies) 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
96kHz and 192kHz. The selected sample rate has influence on the distortion performance and
aliasing in the analogue domain. These technical facts have a slight influence on the sound
character of your DAD and can therefore be modified to suit your preference.
The output sampling frequency selected will be indicated on the front panel, by a blue LED.
Word clock system
The DAD contains a complex clocking system with several PLLs in order to be able to
have a low jiiter clock with the capability to lock precisely with sampling frequencies of
multiples of 44.1KHz and 48KHz.
The device is also able to lock with an external world clock from another digital source. The DAD
will check the clock frequency and quality and if it fits its requirement the DAD will switch to the
external word clock. When the external word clock is used, the Ext. CLK. LED will light in blue.
