THE DAC202 D/A CONVERTER
Features in alphabetical order
Absolute polarity switch:
The absolute polarity of the outputs can be inverted for
optimizing the sonic impression.
Audio Inputs:
One XLR, one RCA and one Toslink connector for AES/EBU or
S/PDIF signals. Two Firewire connectors for computer
connection.
Audio Outputs:
Two XLR and two RCA connectors for analog audio output. One
XLR and one RCA connector for AES/EBU and S/PDIF audio
output. One ¼ inch jack socket for headphones.
Backpanel elements from left to right:
• Analog outputs on XLR and RCA connectors
• Digital outputs on XLR and RCA connectors
• Digital inputs on XLR and RCA connectors
• Wordsync input and output on BNC connectors
• Digital input on Toslink connector
• Firewire connectors
• Mains connector with fuse
Converters:
Two converters per channel are employed in order to lower the
converter imperfections. Separate converters are used for the
main outputs and the headphone outputs.
Dual / Single Wire modes:
The AES/EBU inputs / outputs of the DAC202 normally work in
the so called “Single Wire” modus, i.e. both audio channels are
transferred via a single cable. The DAC202 also supports the
“Dual Wire” modus where the two audio channels are
transferred via two cables, i.e. left channel is on the XLR
connector and the right channel on the RCA connector. This
applies to both input and output connectors. The Dual Wire
modus, when activated, is active only at sampling rates of
176.4 or 192 kHz.
In Dual Wire mode the frequency of the wordclock
synchronization on the BNC connectors can be chosen to be the
