Using the Rossini DAC and Clock with a Transport
The Rossini Clock has a third output (normally fixed at 44.1kHz), which may be used to synchronise
another source, such as an SACD Transport.
Figure 2 – Using the Rossini DAC and Clock with a Vivaldi Transport
• Connect the system as shown above.
• Use the DAC’s Input button to select the input you want to use (AES1+2 in the example).
Set the DAC’s Unit Settings > Sync Mode menu page to Word Clock 1-2 Auto mode.
The Vivaldi Transport will lock to the word clock and display this icon.
• If you want to listen to CD playback in native 16/44.1 format, connect one of the Transport’s SPDIF
outputs to the DAC’s matching input. Note that the Transport’s PCM outputs must be turned on.
Select that input and set it to Master Mode also.
Output 3 resets to 44.1kHz when the Clock powers up.
The Rossini Player will also work in this setup.
