Manley Labs MANLEY REFERENCE DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER owner manual M N O P Q R S Tu V W

GHDCD LED: Lit when the digital source has been HDCD ® encoded. The decoding process takes place automatically.

HPHASE SWITCH: In the "180" position this reverses the polarity of both channels. The process is digital. Often a subtle change depending on the music and symetry of the waveforms. The typical recording process occasionally accidently inverts the polarity and this little switch restores it to "correct".

IDITHER SWITCH: In the "UP" position, this adds dither (noise) to the digital data before conversion. Again this can be a subtle improvement (cleaner) with some material. Dither reduces distortion but most recordings already have done this.

JDITHER LED: Lit when the DITHER SWITCH is on.

KPOWER LED: Lit when the POWER SWITCH is on.

LPOWER SWITCH: The single most important control to master.

MRCA OUTPUTS: Analog Outputs.

NSERIES / PARALLEL SWITCHES: Switches the windings of the output transformer to series or parallel wired. Series provides 6 dB higher output level but at a higher source impedance. Hi-Fi users will usually find that PARALLEL mode is most appropriate, while pro users will usually prefer series.

OXLR OUTPUTS: Analog Outputs. These may be "floating" or grounded depending on the position of the GROUND SWITCH.

PMAINS VOLTAGE SELECT: Screwdriver select switch. The correct setting will be pre-selected for the country the converter is being shipped to - either 110 or 220 Volts.
