Detect Silence is a PCM only option that gives digital silence out if the unit detects digital silence in. This is useful where dither, and/or noise shaped truncation are being used – without it, even if the signal in goes to digital silence, the output will continue to output low level noise. It allows some automation further along the CD preparation chain. The options are:
On | Select then press Set. Output goes silent after |
| about 25 ms of silence in. Output recovers |
| immediately when the input goes live, although it |
| takes about 25 ms for the dither to turn back on if |
| this is used. |
Off | Select then press Set |
IMPORTANT! Digital Silence detection does not currently operate in DSD modes.
For Output Sample Rates of 32kS/s to 96kS/s, Emphasis may be applied or removed using this menu. The menu displays:
Select the appropriate function, and press Set.
IMPORTANT! Note that the unit drops the signal level by 12dB when applying pre- emphasis, to prevent overloads occurring.
When removing
