  • Page 10: General Information

    10 general information lake people dac rs 06 is a top-range d/a converter, distinguished by its resampling unit, its 32-bit double mono converters and very particular analog output stages. By means of their specially designed, variable low-noise and low-distortion circuitry, the dac rs 06 fulfils ev...

    11 the case the case as well as the front/rear panels are made of solid aluminum. This choice of material ensures high mechanical stability and resistance. Earth and ground the case of dac rs 06 is grounded. Internal reference ground is bridged to protective earth by means of a jumper. The jumper is...

    14 polarity of the xlr terminals complies with aes 14-1992: 1 = ground, 2 = (+) in phase, 3 = (-) out of phase. Source impedance of all analog outputs is significantly lower than 1 (one) ohm ! Note: when connecting unbalanced lines to the balanced outputs, pin 3 must not be bridged but left unused (...

  • Page 15: Resampling

    15 resampling is a mighty feature for the transformation/restoration of jittered signals into high-quality signals. As well, the signal quality of 44.1 or 48 khz sources can be improved by converting them to a higher rate. This also complies to the usb input which often suffers from jitter caused by...

    18 about the analog output level unlike in the analog world, digital technology uses a clearly defined maximum level, described as 0 dbfs, or "zero decibels full scale" in clear text. From this maximum downward, signal levels are expressed with a negative sign. The “translation“ of the digital level...
