Signal Flow
Note: *SDIF2 inputs expect 24-bits (or 0-filled 16 bits) of PCM
Note: Analog outputs are balanced with pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold and pin 1 GND. For unbalanced
outputs just connect to pin 2 and leave pin 3 open ended
Function Switches
Clock Section
INT / EXT: Selects internal or external clock source. LOCK LED is lit
when D/A converter is locked to external clock.
Sample Rate Section
1FS / 2FS: Selects the sample rate for PCM data. FS is the base
frequency (see selector switch for base).
44.1 / 48: Selects the base frequency (only 44.1kHz is allowed for
DSD outputs and inputs)
Digital Audio Input Section
IN / OUT: Selects the data direction on the BNC connectors. DSD
and PCM data can be received or transmitted.
DSD / PCM: Selects digital audio input format.
