Adjusting Sample Rate & Wordwidth
Figure 1 3 - wordwidth/sample rate mode
Press the dither/sample rate button to get to the screen shown in Figure 13. As prompted by the
display, the sample rate is selected by the left knob and the output wordwidth is selected by the
middle knob. Use the button below the indicated channel group names to select the group of
interest, and an asterisk will appear to indicate the selection, as in Figure 13.
Unlike most digital audio processors, the z-K6 does not auto-detect the input sample rate.
Rather, you must select the sample rate manually. This will change on subsequent firmware
revisions.
The wordwidth for each channel group can be controlled independently. There are four settings
for the output wordwidth:
24 bits dithered
24 bits undithered
20 bits dithered
16 bits dithered
The dither used is a variant of flat TPDF dither. The undithered 24-bit setting is provided to
allow bit-transparent transfers when all of the controls are in the flat position.
