8X96 DAC – Features
Asynchronous operations as 4 independent stereo DACs
Digital to analog converters are implemented as 4 stereo pairs. They can operate
synchronously or asynchronously. During synchronous operation all 4 converters always
receive the same clock, meaning that all four data streams are in phase. This is always the
case when the Daughter Card input is selected. When the AES/EBU input is selected,
the 4 streams can be either synchronous or asynchronous, meaning that up four
independent AES/EBU sources can be monitored as if 4 separate stereo DACs were used.
Format conversion (see further) can only be performed if AES/EBU sources are
synchronous.
