Word Sync Up Convert
< Select 44.1/48 kHz for no upward conversion.
<
The DSD signal (1 bit, 64 fs) from SACD is output as it is
without being up-converted.
< 88.2-kHz signals are sent out of each XLR terminal when you
select 176.4/192 kHz (4 times up sampling mode) with the
output set to XLR DUAL.
<
There is no audio output when you select 44.1/48 kHz with
the output set to XLR DUAL. The corresponding indicator
blinks in this case. In this case, select 88.2/96 kHz or
176.4/192 kHz.
<
No up-converted signal is available at the DIGITAL OUT
(NORMAL) terminal.
You can convert the basic 44.1/48kHz sampling frequency to
double (88.2/96kHz) or four times (176.4/192kHz).
Each press of the UN CONVERT button rotates the
selection through the following:
44.1/48kHz
88.2/96kHz (double)
176.4/192kHz (four times)
This feature is used when you want to get your whole system
locked to a single sync signal (clock) by connecting this unit to
the Esoteric D-01 or G-0/G-0s or other devices that are capable
of outputting a sync signal (word clock) or when you want to
use a precision external clock rather than the clock inside the P-
01.
Each press of the WORD button rotates the selection
through the following:
IN
This mode provides a stable sync operation with general
external clocks. But there are occasions when no sync can be
achieved depending on the output accuracy of the clocking
devices used.
This is because the word clock input frequency range of this
unit is set to as narrow as ±15ppm, a stability requirement in
order to achieve a sync with a high-degree of accuracy.
Rb IN
This is a mode designed for external clocks of higher degree
of precision like a rubidium clock generator.
Keep in mind that it will take time before synchronization is
achieved in this mode.
Switch the mode to IN if “WRD UNLOCK!” appears. This
means the stability of the connected clock is not accurate
enough for this sync mode.
Off
No word sync is available.
< Select Rb IN when connected to the G-0s, and select IN when
connected to the G-0/D-01/D-70.
<
This unit is ready for the following clocks and switches itself
depending on an incoming signal:
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz
This unit also accepts a Universal Clock frequency of 100
kHz.
<
When selecting IN or Rb IN, the corresponding indicator starts
blinking to indicate that the unit is searching for an external
clock. The indicator turns on solid (blue) when this unit
detects and locks to an external clock and is ready for play.
<
Make WORD SYNC connections before powering on the unit.
<
There are occasions where the D/A converter produces noise
when switching on/off the word sync. If this is the case
reduce the amplifier’s volume before going on.
