Word sync

This feature is used when you want to get your whole system locked to a single sync signal (clock) by connecting this unit to the Esoteric AZ-1, G-0/G-0s or other devices that are capable of outputting a sync signal (word clock).

Use the WORD button to switch between Word ON and Word OFF.

The main unit can accept and synchronize to the following frequencies received from external devices:

44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz

This unit also accepts a Universal Clock frequency of 100 kHz.

<It takes several seconds for the unit to detect and lock to an external clock.

<Make WORD SYNC connections before powering on the unit. If no valid word sync signal is received, the display shows “No Word!”.

FIR

 

An FIR-type digital filter that does upward sample rate

 

conversion.

 

You can select Wide or Narrow characteristic for this filter.

 

See page 28 for details.

 

RDOT+FIR

 

This provides a combined function of FIR and RDOT filters.

 

The RDOT filter has a slow roll-off characteristic and provides

 

a smooth immersive sound.

 

The two up-conversion filters are directly coupled digitally so

 

that the best of each is brought out.

 

PCM q DSD

 

The DV-60 can convert PCM signals to the DSD signals (1 bit,

 

64 fs) that are used on a Super Audio CD.

 

<The conversion has effect on signals output from the following terminals:

XLR (BALANCED) L and R AUDIO OUT (L and R) AUDIO OUT (FRONT L and R)

Other terminals cannot output upconverted or DSD-converted signals.

<Super Audio CDs output a DSD signal (1 bit, 64fs) and cannot be up converted.

<The DSD indicator lights during playback of a Super Audio CD.
