sampling rate (i.e. 176.4 or 192 kHz) or half the sampling rate
(i.e. 88.2 or 96 kHz).
Frontpanel elements:
• Standby LED
• IR Receiver
• Headphone socket
• LCD display
• Rotary encoder with switch
Insert mode:
If the insert mode is activated an external digital audio device
(e.g. a digital equalizer) can be looped into the signal path via
the XLR input / output connectors. The resulting signal path
thus looks as follows: Firewire (or RCA or Toslink) input  XLR
output  external device  XLR input  DAC chip.
LCD brightness:
The brightness of the LCD can be set with two different choices:
One brightness level is active when operating the rotary
encoder knob or the remote control. The other brightness level
is active when the DAC202 or the remote control are not
touched. This allows to dim the LCD when the information on
the LCD screen is not required.
Level Control Main Output:
The output level of the main output can be adjusted in the
analog domain in four coarse steps in order to accommodate for
the input sensitivity of the subsequent amplifier. A higher
resolution level control is implemented in the digital domain and
operated from the frontpanel knob or the remote control. The
high-resolution level control can be defeated for the main
output in case there is another level control available in the
audio chain.
Level Control Headphone Output:
The output level of the headphone output can be adjusted in the
analog domain in four coarse steps in order to accommodate for
the headphone sensitivity. A higher resolution level control is
implemented in the digital domain and operated from the
frontpanel knob or the remote control.
Power Supply:
A powerful non-switching power supply is used. All sensitive
voltages have their own regulators.
