Digital inputs
Optionally, the d:series amplifier can be equipped with one of the following input cards:
Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.
The d:series amplifier is automatically detected as slave and assumes the sample rate transmitted by the
master device.
NOTE: The digital input slots are factory-fitted and cannot be changed arbitrarily or on site.
AES/EBU, S/PDIF (AES3)
The optional AES/EBU input interface provides 16 channels (d:16 unit) or 24 channels (d:24 unit) and
enables digital input signals in AES3 format via AES/EBU (or S/PDIF). The digital input interface includes
high end DACs on each of the channels.
All inputs are independent and do not have to be synchronized concerning the word clock because of the
built-in ASRCs (Asynchronous Sample Rate Converters) on each of the input channels.
NOTE: With the AES/EBU (S/PDIF) card there is no possibility for daisy chaining!
The pinout of the DB-25 sockets are patched in Tascam analog norm as depicted below:
pin assignment:
