Sync Source: The clock to which the DAC202 should sync to.

Usually this is the DAC202’s internal clock generator.

Buffer Size: Larger buffer sizes increase robustness against

dropouts; lower buffer sizes provide low latency.

Operation Mode: determines the stability of the system. Try

other modes if there are clicks in the music.

Global Settings / WDM:

Enables the WDM driver.

Global Settings / DPC:

Determines your computers performance and recommends an

operation mode.

Global Settings / System:

Some utilities to determine the chipset in your computer and to

get information on the supported chipset. Required for

debugging if problems with the Firewire connection are

encountered.

Global Settings / Info:

Information about the driver version.

Device Settings / General:

The device settings should be pretty self-explanatory.

Device Settings / Firmware Loader:

Allows uploading new firmware to the DAC202. Not used for

normal operation.

Mac OSX:

Configure the DAC202 via the “Audio MIDI Setup” (Applications

> Utilities) and the “WeissFirewire Control Panel” (Applications).

Note that most settings controllable from the control panel are

available only in Firewire mode.

Global Settings / Bus:

Master: Is the device, which is sync master on the virtual bus in

case multiple devices (“DAC202s”) are connected.

Sync Source: The clock to which the DAC202 should sync to.

Usually this is the DAC202’s internal clock generator.

Sampling Rate: The sampling rate of the device when internally

clocked. When clocked/syncing to one of the other interfaces

(XLR, RCA, TOS) the sampling rate indicated reflects the one

fed from the external device.
