Figure 8 – Six channel DSD recording on a 24 track 16/44.1 kS/s recorder

Make sure DSD 4 is turned on, from the menu. The top dCS 904 needs to have its Ref In option set to Int. The middle one should be set to Loop, and the bottom one should be set to Loop.t The units self align quite accurately (see “Sample Alignment” on page 37 onwards). Alternatively, word clock may be used as the syncing method, with no special set ups.

P3D option only:

do this: Set DSD to DSD 4, set AES O to On
