Transparency check:
The bit transparency of any player software running on a
computer can be verified by this feature. For that
purpose audio files are supplied with the DAC202.
Playing back these files via the player software to be
checked allows the DAC202 software to recognize the bit
pattern of the files. If the bits of the files are changed
during playback e.g. because of a volume control or EQ
or upsampling algorithm etc., the bit transparency check
fails. The files supplied cover all the DAC202 supported
sampling rates (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz) as
well as 16 and 24 bit wordlengths.
Upsampling Filter selection:
The upsampling filter can be selected bewen “A” and “B”.
Filter A has a steeper frequency response than B. Future
DAC202 software will offer more filter choices. All
DAC202 units can be software updated via Firewire.
Operation / Installation
Unpacking and Setup of the DAC202
Carefully unpack the DAC202. The following items should
be enclosed:
•
The DAC202 D/A Converter unit
•
The IR remote control unit
•
A CD with the necessary Firewire drivers for
Windows and OSX and with the audio files for the bit
transparency check
•
This Owners Manual
•
A Certificate of Guarantee
Firewire Connection
Before connecting the firewire cable between computer
and DAC202 unplug both the computer and the DAC202
from the mains power.
Mains Connection
Before connecting the mains cable make sure the label
on the back of the unit (near the mains inlet) shows the
appropriate mains voltage. If this is not the case then
the proper mains voltage may have to be selected with a
jumper cable inside of the DAC202 unit. Contact your
dealer in that case.
