Esoteric D-07 MCK Master clock, OUT Word clock frequency, RC Remote control, Disp Display, Vol

Settings (2)

MCK (Master clock)

This set-up mode selects the word sync or master clock mode. A different setting can be made for each input.

<Make a connection to the WORD SYNC terminal before selecting W-IN or W-OUT.

PLL1 (Word sync off, NORMAL mode)

This setting does not use the word sync. Only the first of the two internal PLL circuits is operated. The WORD indicator goes off.

<PLL circuit: A circuit which generates the master clock necessary for D/A conversion.

PLL2 (Word sync off, Dual PLL mode)

This setting does not use the word sync. Both internal PLL circuits are operated. The WORD indicator lights green.

The WORD indicator flashes green while the PLL circuit is locking. When the lock is finished, the indicator stops flashing.

<The second PLL circuit utilizes an internal crystal oscillator.

<If the input audio signal is 32 kHz, this unit works in the “PLL1” word sync mode even if the “PLL2” is selected.

<If an audio signal that cannot be locked by the internal crystal oscillator is input, locking is not completed and the indicator continues to flash. If this occurs, change this setting to “PLL1”.

OUT (Word sync output mode)

The unit internally generates and sends out a Word Clock signal. The WORD indicator lights blue.

<Set the word sync of any connected device to ON (or IN) when setting the “MCK” to “OUT”. If the word sync setting of any connected device is set to OFF, some noise may be generated.

<You can change the frequency of the word sync signal in the

“W_OUT” setting. See the right column for details.

IN (Word sync input mode)

The unit now operates according to the externally input clock. Selecting “IN” causes the WORD indicator to blink in blue while the unit searches for an external clock signal. The indicator stops blinking when the unit detects and locks on to the external clock signal. The unit is now ready for playback synced to the external clock signal.

<This unit can handle clock signals up to 192 kHz and switches automatically to accommodate signal input.

<This unit may not be able to make synchronization depending on the output accuracy of the connected device.

<The word clock input signals are needed to be synchronized with the digital audio input signals. Noise may be generated if the word clock input signals and the digital audio input signals are not synchronized.

W-OUT (Word clock frequency)

When connecting a device which has a word sync input terminal, such as an Esoteric P-05, select the frequency of the word sync signal.

The factory setting is “44.1”.

44.1kHz(44)

88.2kHz(88)

176.4kHz(176)

48kHz(48)

96kHz(96)

192kHz(192)

Numbers shown in parentheses are the numbers on the display.

A different setting can be made for each input.

RC (Remote control)

If you use the D-07 with an optional Esoteric amplifier, you can set the D-07 to respond to the Esoteric remote control.

The factory setting is “Disable”.

Enable

This setting enables the D-07 to be operated by the Esoteric amplifier remote control.

Disable

This setting disables the D-07 from being operated by the Esoteric remote control.

DISP (Display)

You can select whether the display indicates the volume level selected or the sampling frequency.

The factory setting is “Fs” which indicates the sampling frequency.

VOL

Displays the value of the output level set by using the VOLUME buttons.

Fs

The sampling frequency is displayed.

During upconversion, “U” will be displayed to the right of the sampling frequency.
