Select either “Stream” for connection to an MPEG-compatible amplifier, or “PCM” for use with more general equipment.

Down Sample

Enable (ON*) or disable (OFF) downsampling. That is, all digital signals are converted, and output at 48kHz or 44.1kHz. Use this if your amplifier does not have 96kHz/88.2kHz capability.

Note that even when downsampling is turned off, some discs are automatically downsampled to 48kHz or 44.1kHz.

Also note that even when downsampling is turned off, all discs with sampling frequencies of 192kHz or 176.4kHz are always downsampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz respectively.
