Up to 3 AES/EBU cables can be connected to the DAC6e. The 4 possible 
audio frequencies can be selected according to Table 1:
In the case of 2FS operation (88.2kHz or 96kHz) the clock rate of the trans-
mission on the cable is double. Master / Slave clock operations can be 
selected with the INT / EXT switch (see below for more detail). In Slave 
operation there has to be at least an AES/EBU cable connected to channels 
1/2 as this connection provides the clock for the DAC6e.
Conversion from DSD on Optical to Analog
The optical interface format requires 2 cables: 1 for clock and 1 for audio 
data. They both need to be connected regardless of what clock mode is 
selected (master or slave). This mode requires the selection of 44.1kHz 
base frequency. Master / Slave clock operations can be selected with the 
INT / EXT switch (see below for more detail) and the 1FS / 2FS switch is 
ignored.
