The SUPER DAC supports multiple digital audio formats, all bit widths from 16 to 24, and all sampling rates fr om 22kHz to 100kHz while outputting to bal[...]

FEA TURES • High-performance stereo D/A converter in a standard half-rack package. • D/A converter: 24-bit, 96kHz, 128x oversampling. • Dynamic Range: 1 15 dB (A-weighted). • Supports 16-, 18-, 20- and 24-bit data widths. • Supports sample rates from 22kHz to over 100kHz. • Front panel Format button selects between thr ee rear inputs: T[...]

Back Panel 1. 9V AC Jack : This jack provides connection to the Super DAC’s external "wall wart" power supply . The Super DAC uses a 9 V olt AC, 500 mA (or more) power supply . 2. Analog Out Left : The XLR (3 conductor) male connector outputs a balanced, +4 dB (professional) level signal. The 1⁄4” jacks output an unbalanced, -10 dB [...]

digital inputs of your SUPER DAC 2496. T ake the analog outputs of the Super DAC and plug them into the analog inputs of your "target" device. For mor e information or suggestions for use, see the next section, "T ypical Setup." NO TE: For best results, use good quality digital cab le . Digital AES/EBU cable should be pur chased[...]

Now let’s go a little deeper . What if you have a few different pieces of digital audio gear? Let’s say you have a pro DA T machine with AES/EBU digital out, a computer sound card with S/PDIF . Y our CD Player actually has a TOSLINK optical out, and you think you could improve its sound quality by r eplacing its built-in D/A converters with som[...]

OPERA TION The SUPER DAC 2496 is compatible with 24-bit, 20-bit, 18-bit, and 16-bit data. The more bits per data wor d, the better the dynamic range. Better dynamic range translates into higher audio quality . The term "sampling rate" means the number of times that digital audio takes a "picture" of the analog signal. The mor e [...]

TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom: When power is applied, there ar e no LED's lit on the Super DAC's front panel. Solution: Make sure the corr ect power supply is properly plugged into the unit and also into a live wall source or power strip. Also make sure the unit’s Power button is pushed (and latched) in. Symptom: When the digital audio source[...]
