OPTIONS

Mains Voltage

We ship with the mains wired according to the destination. The voltage option should be specified when the unit is ordered, by specifying the country of use. It can be updated later by your dealer, if necessary.

Video Frequency VCXOs

We can fit additional video frequency VCXOs (enabling frequencies such as 44.056kS/s and 47.952kS/s). These are best fitted at dCS, to allow full checking.

P3D, DSD Pro and Other Formats

We can fit larger FPGAs to allow P3D, DSD Pro and other formats. This has to be done at dCS.

Ordering Options For A New Unit

To order any option, just tell us:

dCS 954 for use in <country>, with options ….

IMPORTANT! Always specify the intended country of operation, otherwise we will assume that country of delivery is the same as country of operation.

Having Your Options Changed

dCS support modifications, updates and option changes to supplied dCS 954 units. If you are in any doubt, please contact your Distributor or dCS. In general, these will be carried out at dCS, because we have extensive test facilities and can verify the changes.

IMPORTANT! Please do not attempt the changes yourself. The unit's performance and reliability may be impaired, and the warranty will be invalidated.
