Owner’s Reference DirectStream Junior
LOCATION
A good location for DirectStream Junior is in a cabinet or on a shelf at an easily
accessible height.
Care should be taken to keep it away from power ampliers or large potentially
hum inducing products. The IR (infrared) receiver for the remote is located to the
left of the volume control knob. A direct line of sight will help with DirectStream
Junior's IR sensor.
DirectStream Junior and the PerfectWave Transport (PWT) or the upcoming
DirectStream Transport (DST) were designed to stack on top of each other if they
are not placed on separate shelves. To do this, remove the feet from the unit you
wish to place on top of the stack. Carefully place the top unit so it rests on the
bottom unit. You will note that the bottom of the corners of each PerfectWave
piece is specially designed to mate with the top corners of another PerfectWave.
DIGITAL INPUTS
DirectStream Junior oers multiple digital input choices including: The Network
Bridge II, XLR (AES/EBU), RCA and TOSlink (S/PDIF), USB as well as I2S. All
inputs, including USB, are capable of accepting high-denition digital audio
signals. The TOSlink input is capable of 96kHz, 24 bit audio and all other inputs,
including the USB, are capable of handling up to 192kHz 24 bit of PCM or DoP
data. The I
2
S inputs can handle single and double rate DSD directly or DoP. The
PS Audio NuWave Phono A/D Converter is capable of sending pure DSD over
I
2
S, as well the upcoming DirectStream Transport, which will play pure DSD from
SACD sources.
DirectStream Junior uses an HDMI cable to transfer I
2
S data. This data can only
be used with another compatible component, such as the PerfectWave Memory
Player, DirectStream Transport, and NuWave Phono Converter and will not work
in other HDMI equipment as the I
2
S format incorporated does not comply with
the HDMI standards. The HDMI connector and cable were chosen to carry the
I
2
S signal because of their superior high-speed data transmission capabilities
for multiple clocks and data lines. PS Audio publishes its I
2
S standard and it has
been adopted by multiple other manufacturers as well.
DoP (DSD over PCM) is a standard allowing single rate DSD to travel over S/
PDIF (the RCA, XLR and Network Bridge digital inputs are S/PDIF compatible)
