Need help?Do you have a question about the DENAFRIPS ARES II DAC and is the answer not in the manual?
Important precautions for safe operation, handling, and placement of the DAC.
Addresses jitter issues using FIFO buffer reclocking and local FEMTO Clock.
Features STM32F446 MCU, supports 24bit/1536kHz PCM and DSD1024.
Uses FPGA for decoding 24bit/192kHz SPDIF, shortening signal path.
Allows user to change sampling mode (NOS or OS) on the fly.
Equipped with 24Bit R-2R DAC and 32 steps FIR filters for PCM and DSD decoding.
Details digital signal processing, FEMTO Clock, and R-2R ladder network for DA conversion.
Guide to understanding the functions and features of the Ares II DAC.
Guide to download, install, and verify the THESYCON USB driver for Windows.
Procedure to switch between NOS and OS modes using the Mute and OPT1 buttons.
Procedure to select Slow or Sharp filter using Mute and OPT2 buttons (OS mode only).
