DSD
Selecting DSD will default to 44.1kHz reference. If no sync is available it will use its
own internal crystal reference. The interface requires a minimum of 2 BNC cables
(DSD left and DSD right) to the DSD recording device. The DSD output is switchable
between SDIF 2 and SDIF 3 with a rear panel switch. SDIF 2 requires a 44.1kHz
sync signal to be passed to the DAC and this should preferably come from the 8816
sync output via a 3rd BNC cable. SDIF 3 transmits the DSD signals with clock
information included and should not need the sync signal.
N.B.
Refer to your DSD recording device for compatibility information.
