- Once the connection is made, the lock symbol BT appears.
- The whole audio signals of your device source will then be transmitted to your DAC200 Sig. Your emitter device will remain associated until you unlock the DAC200 Sig with your Smartphone or switch off your amplifier.
- Association of another emitter: possible receivers (named DAC200 Sig).
- To connect to another emitter, you’ll need to disconnect the first emitter. The quality of reception of the signal depends on the power of the Bluetooth emitter and the distance between the 2 devices.
Avoid being more than 5 meters of your DAC200 Sig for a correct reception without any risks of signal cuts.
FILTERS SETUP
While pressing a key (18) you can choose different kinds of digital filters
which you can select with the 17’s keys:
- Standard: fast roll-off, minimum phase filter
- Fast lin: fast roll-off, linear phase filter
- Slow min: soft roll-off, minimum phase filter
- Slow lin: soft roll-off, linear phase filter
- Apodizing: fast roll-off by apodizing and linear phase filter
- Hybrid: fast roll-off and minimum phase filter
BYPASS MODE
This DAC can be used as:
- The single converter as a source linked to a LINE or XLR input of an integrated or preamp which will setup the volume control. In that case, you’ll need to fix the output level of the DAC200 Sig and put it on the BYPASS position.
- Both converter and preamp are directly linked to a power amplifier: volume control is then made by the DAC200 Sig. In this configuration, you need to place the configuration as BYPASS OFF.
Put the DAC200 Sig on stand-by then press together keys (21) for about 3 seconds. Position ON/OFF changes on every press of the knob.
- Display BYPASS means that the volume control is not activated.
- Display BYPASS OFF means that the volume control is activated.
Note
BYPASS mode is recommended when you’re using an integrated. If you are using
the DAC200 Sig as a preamp, check if the amplifier is able to support a
maximum input level of 5 Vrms.
USB INPUT
Your appliance is equipped with a High-Res. asynchronous USB Input (B
type). It will be possible to use it only when you’ll have downloaded the
appropriate driver on your computer. This driver can be freely downloaded on
our website at the page:http://www.atoll-electronique.com/fr/produits
/convertisseur-dac/convertisseur-dac200/
You will find attached an explanatory guide on how to install this driver. This driver is not required for Macintosh computers. To avoid any troubles in the transfer of High-Resolution files (DSD & 24 bits/192 kHz), it is recommended to use a USB interconnect with ferrite.
ACCEPTED FORMATS
- Accepted format on optical and coaxial Inputs: 16-24 bits (32 kHz, 44,1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88,2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176,4 kHz, and 192 kHz).
- Accepted format on USB Input:
- DSD: DSD64 & DSD128.
- PCM : 16-24 bits (32 kHz, 44,1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88,2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176,4 kHz, 192 kHz, 352,8 kHz et 384 kHz).
CAUTIONS
- Do not make any connections when your device is powered on.
- Put your device in a dry and well-ventilated place, far from a source of heat.
