DirectStream upsamples every input and fi le type to 10X DSD rate before processing. It
is not possible to select the upsample rate for modifi cation and therefore no sample rate
choices are available on DirectStream's touch screen.
Unlike many DACs, including DirectStream's predecessor, no fi lter options are available.
DirectStream has two output levels, High and Low. In the standard output mode,
DirectStream will provide adequate output level to directly feed a power amplifi er without
use of a preamplifi er. If the power amplifi er, or preamplifi er, is overly sensitive or you need
to reduce the output level of DirectStream for any reason, you can activate the output
attenuator to reach a lower level. There should be no sonic penalty for doing so.
To turn on/off the output attenuator, press the fi lter button on the remote. Or, go to the
setup screen which is accessible by touching the small tool icon at the top of the default
screen.
The unit's screen brightness
can be adjusted in the setup
menu. The display can be
turned off by pressing the
button labeled “DIM” located
at bottom right of the remote.
When you are in the DIM
mode, the screen will come
back on when you touch it or
press a remote key. To turn
the DIM feature off, press
"ON." You can also adjust
brightness in the setup menu.
DirectStream can become far more than a high-performance stereo DAC. An optional
Network Bridge II can be added that connects DirectStream to any home network. The
Bridge II allows playback from a source not directly connected to DirectStream using a
UPnP protocol and separately available controller and server, such as a NAS.
The Network Bridge II incorporates the exact same Digital Lens™ technology found
in the PWT – without the input to the Lens being from a connected source. Instead,
the input to the internal Lens of the Bridge II is over a network: addressable through an
Ethernet connection. Music stored on a hard drive or even an Internet radio service are
all accessible via this Network Bridge II. Once installed, the Bridge II will be accessed as
another input.
