Notes on high resolution playback

The DAC-R can operate up to 192kHz when used with a capable

soundcard connected via the Co-axial, optical or USB input. Due to the
limitations of some operating systems and playback software, the exact
configuration and set-up can vary from one PC/laptop to another and may
not have a bit perfect high sample rate ‘signal’ path through the PC/lap-
top. It may be necssary to install further drivers in order to bypass the
Windows Audio drivers (for example ASIO4ALL). Select the new driver in
your chosen media player preferences. In some circumstances it is pos-
sible using the sound properties panel to make the DAC run at a higher
sample rate than that of the file being played, thus ‘up sampling’ the data
rate in the DAC. (sometimes called ‘bitty’ software sample rate conversion).

The DAC-R is supplied with a mini system remote
which gives the user the ability to switch inputs via
a single button marked ‘DAC Input’.

The Solaris system remote (sold separately) also
allows remote function of the three digital filters.
