Connecting the System for DSD
Most owners will use the Verona to clock other dCS equipment at 44.1kHz.
do this: If necessary, use the Clock Frequency button to set the outputs to 44.1kHz.
do this: Connect one of the Verona‘s Word Clock Outputs to the Word Clock input of each unit in the chain – the transport, the DSD upsampler and the DAC. The five outputs are the same.
do this: Connect a 1394 cable from the Verdi to the DAC and from the Purcell to the DAC. Connect an AES cable from the Verdi to the Purcell’s AES input.
IMPORTANT! It is essential to lock the transport to the Verona. If this is not done, the source will not be synchronised to the rest of the system, causing locking problems or regular clicks.
A Verdi or La Scala will slave to the Verona automatically, the WClk indicator will light to confirm this.
do this: For Purcell (v2.00 or later), select the required input then set the WClk menu page to WClk: In. The WClk indicator will light to confirm that the upsampler is locked. Set the Output to DSD.
do this: For Elgar Plus or Delius, select the 1394 input then set the MS menu page to MS: Sync. The SDIF indicator (Elgar) or WClk indicator (Delius) will light to confirm that the DAC is locked.
See the “Typical Applications” section on page 10 for more details.
Connecting the System for Dual AES
For owners who prefer to use Dual AES it is important to choose compatible sample rates. The Dual AES sample rate MUST be exactly 2 or 4 times the source sample rate and clock frequency.
do this: If necessary, use the Clock Frequency button to set the outputs to 44.1kHz.
do this: Connect one of the Verona‘s Word Clock Outputs to the Word Clock input of each unit in the chain – the transport, the DSD upsampler and the DAC. The five outputs are the same.
IMPORTANT! It is essential to lock the transport to the Verona. If this is not done, the source will not be synchronised to the rest of the system,causing locking problems or regular clicks.
do this: Connect a 1394 cable from the Verdi to the DAC. Connect an AES cable from the Verdi to the Purcell’s AES input. Connect 2 AES cables from Purcell’s AES outputs to the DAC’s AES inputs.
A Verdi or La Scala will slave to the Verona automatically, the WClk indicator will light to confirm this.
do this: For Purcell (v2.00 or later), select the required input then set the WClk menu page to WClk: In. The WClk indicator will light to confirm that the upsampler is locked. Set the Output to 88.2 kS/s Dual AES or 176kS/s Dual AES.
do this: For Elgar Plus (v4.30 or later) or Delius (v2.30 or later), select the Dual AES input then set the MS menu page to MS: Sync. The SDIF indicator (Elgar) or WClk indicator (Delius) will light to confirm that the DAC is locked.
If the source sample rate is 48kS/s or 96kS/s and has a Word Clock input, set Verona to 48kHz and set Purcell to upsample to 96 or 192kS/s.
