'SDIF-2' - 'squid' cable outputs are in SDIF-2 (DSD-RAW) format 
'SDIF-3' - 'squid' cable outputs are in SDIF-3 format 
 
This option only affects the selected Module, and does not affect the outputs of the MAC-DSD 
/ SuperMAC interface which are always present if the option is fitted. 
 
 

8.6  Module Dependent Preferences Menus 

 

8.6.1  DI Sync Input Menu 

 
 
 
 
 
Each DSD I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8XR enables a DI Sync Input menu in the Module 
Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. 
 
This Single Selection menu controls which DSD input carrier will be the Sync Source when a 
Path is set to sync from 'DI' of the selected Module.  Options are 'C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'C4', 'C5', 
'C6', 'C7', 'C8', and 'Auto'. 'C1-8' select one of the eight input carriers - fixing the Sync Source 
to that DSD carrier. 'Auto' allows the ADA-8XR to choose any locked carrier input as 
described in the section 8.8.  
 
Note that this menu selection is only valid when using SDIF-3 DSD input carriers; SDIF-2 
input carriers cannot be used as a synchronization source since they do not contain a 
synchronization clock. 
 
When the input source is set to 'MAC-DSD' in the Input Format Selection Menu, the DI Sync 
Input Menu setting is ignored as the MAC-DSD / SuperMAC interface carries a single 
synchronization signal for all eight input channels. 
 
 

8.6.2  DSD Lineup Menu 

 
 
 
 
 
Each DSD I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8XR enables a DSD Lineup menu in the Module 
Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. 
 
With this option set to ‘Normal’ the maximum DSD output level is 0dB SACD, or 50% 
modulation depth; the maximum allowable DSD input level is also 0dB SACD. This is the 
default DSD lineup setting. 
 
With this option set to ‘Hot’ the maximum DSD output level is +3.1dB SACD, or 71% 
modulation depth; the maximum allowable DSD input level is also +3.1dB SACD. This setting 
is useful for monitoring or recording DSD material at the maximum modulation depth allowed 
by the SACD specification (Scarlet Book). 
 
Note that the maximum specified DSD level corresponds to full-scale level within the 
ADA-8XR Path.  No output signal above the specified level can be generated by DSD outputs 
from the Path, and any DSD input to the Path above the specified level will be clipped.  The 
ADA-8XR’s meters display the channels’ levels as usual, with the selected DSD level being 
aligned to the top of the meter (0dBFS).
