Converter Type
CD data may be upsampled to DSD before oversampling. Proprietary dCS Ring DAC™ topology. Upsampling of audio received on digital inputs to DSD is possible with activation of DSD upsampling.
Analogue
Outputs
Output Levels: 2V rms or 6V rms on all outputs for a full-scale input, set in the menu.
Balanced Outputs: 1 stereo pair on 2x 3-pin male XLR connectors (pin 2 = hot, pin 3 = cold). These outputs are electronically balanced and floating, the signal balance ratio at 1kHz is better than 40dB. Output impedance is 3Ω, maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ load is recommended).
Unbalanced Outputs: 1 stereo pair on 2x RCA Phono connectors.
Output impedance is 52Ω, maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ load is recommended).
Digital Inputs2x SPDIF on 2x RCA Phono connectors. Each will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 & 192kS/s or DSD in DOP format.
Digital Outputs
2x SPDIF on 2x RCA Phono connectors. Both output CD format PCM data when playing a CD only.
Worldclock Inputs
Word Clock input on 1x 75Ω BNC connector. When playing a disc, accepts standard Word Clock at 44.1 or 88.2kHz. In DAC mode, accepts standard word clock at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kHz. The data rate can be the same as the clock rate or an exact multiple. Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock output on 1x 75Ω BNC connector. When playing a disc and not locked to an external clock, a TTL-compatible 44.1kHz Word Clock derived from the internal crystal oscillator is available on this output.
Spurious Responses

CrosstalkBetter than –80dB, 20Hz – 20kHz.
Upsampling Rates
CD data and data from the Digital Inputs (requires a license code) may be upsampled to DSD.
Clock Accuracy
Better than +/-10 ppm when shipped (not temperature compensated).
