dCS 902 only: Once slaved, the unit can internally multiply the reference input
sample rate by 2, if required, by pressing the Multiplier button. The Master
Clock must be set to a suitable sample rate:
Master Clock Sample
Rate (kS/s)
dCS 902 Sample Rate (kS/s)
32 32
44.1 44.1 or 88.2
48 48 or 96
88.2 88.2
96 96
Table 1 - Reference Clock and Sample Rates
For Menu operation as the Down button, see the section” on page 18.
Output Format Menu Up
dCS 902 only: The Output Format button is dual function – on its own (blue type
on the front panel) it sets the output format to Single AES (1) or Dual AES (2).
With the other menu buttons (white type on the front panel) it is the menu Up
button.
Pressing the Output Format button repeatedly causes the output format to
cycle through the allowed options from the sequence:
Single AES ... Dual AES ... Single AES ... etc.
For sample rates of 48kS/s or less, Single AES is the only option.
IMPORTANT! If the Output Format is set to 2 (Dual AES), do not use the SPDIF or
SDIF-2 outputs.
For Menu operation as the Up button, see the section “The Software – The
Menu” on page 18.
Mode Display -
dCS 902 only: The single digit LED mode display to the right of the Output
Format button shows the output format:
Display
Output Format
1 Single AES
2 Dual AES
Table 2 - Output Data format indication, higher sample rates
When the Output Format is selected, the main display briefly shows the format
code:
A1 for Single AES, Standard speed encoding
b1 for Single AES, Double speed encoding
b2 for Dual AES, Standard speed encoding
In Single AES mode, the same data stream is available on both AES outputs.
In Dual AES mode, the data stream is available on AES A & AES B outputs.
