OWNERS MANUAL FOR WEISS DAC202 D/A CONVERTER

Remote Control:
The IR remote control allows to control the following
parameters:
- Power on / off
- Volume up / down
- Input source (Firewire, XLR, RCA, Toslink)
- Output mute
- Polarity normal / inverted
- Upsampling filter type
Signal routing:
Due to the various possible settings for input source, insert
mode, dual/single wire modes and sync source there are quite a
few routing paths possible. Refer to the operation instructions
below for a detailed list of the signal routing.
Synchronization:
Wordclock input and output on BNC connectors. Supported
sampling rates on all inputs: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192
kHz. For all input modes the synchronization source can be
freely chosen. E.g. with Firewire as input the “Internal”
synchronization is typically chosen, which means that the
DAC202 is the master clock for the computer.
Transparency check:
This feature can verify the bit transparency of any player
software running on a computer. For that purpose audio files
are supplied with the DAC202. Playing back these files via the
player software to be checked allows the DAC202 software to
recognize the bit pattern of the files. If the bits of the files are
changed during playback e.g. because of a volume control or EQ
or upsampling algorithm etc., the bit transparency check fails.
The files supplied cover all the DAC202 supported sampling
rates (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz) as well as 16 and 24
bit wordlengths.
Upsampling Filter selection:
The upsampling filter can be selected between “A” and “B”.
Filter A has a steeper frequency response than B. Future
DAC202 software will offer more filter choices. All DAC202 units
can be software updated via Firewire.
