Owner’s Reference
PerfectWave Transport
In order of preference, from a high-performance standpoint, here are the recommendations for
connecting the PWT to your DAC.
1.
I�S
. (Pronounced “I squared S”) This is the best performance option. This connection
method will only work with a similarly equipped I�S input using the HDMI connection.
This will not work into a standard HDMI connection and must go into a PS approved type
such as that found on the PerfectWave DAC. This can output up to 192kHz 24 bit data.
2.
XLR
. This is a balanced S/PDIF encoded output that complies with standards set by
the AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union). This can
output up to 192kHz 24 bit data.
3.
RCA
. Coaxial single ended S/PDIF encoded output. This can output up to 192kHz 24 bit data.
4.
Optical
. TOSLINK optically connected S/PDIF encoded output. This output is limited to
96kHz 24 bit data.
Whatever output you use, make sure the connecting cable is of the highest quality and shortest
distance.
CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET
The PWT will automatically download the cover art and
song titles of inserted CDs (but not DVD's) if it is connected
to the Internet. DVD's display song titles on the PWT, and
these can be viewed from the song title screen accessed
by touching the cover art/PS logo on the screen when
playing a DVD. To connect to the Internet you must plug in
a network enabled Ethernet cable in the back of the PWT.
This connection should be to an Internet connected router
or through a wireless Ethernet bridge connected to a router.
Connection to the Internet through this network cable is
automatic through any DHCP enabled network. 99% of all
Internet setups in the home or office are
DHCP enabled and connection should
take place within a very short period of
time.
You can look on the front touch screen
for verification of connection. When you
are connected to a network the words
"Internet OK" will be displayed indicating
the PS server is now connected.
If the network is not connected, the
words "No Connection" will be displayed.
The rear panel SD card must be in place for this to work.
