via I2S slave off of DAC one in a multi-channel setting.
Multi-channel output use
DMP is capable of playing multi-channel discs such as some SACD, BluRay and DVD-A types. Up
to 6 channels of high resolution audio can be output to three stereo DACs for this purpose.
Available outputs include three stereo I2S outputs and three stereo coaxial outputs as shown in
the photograph of the rear panel.
When three PS Audio authorized DACs are connected through the I2S outputs, volume control of
all three DACs can now be handled through a single PS Audio DAC. DAC One, the DAC connected
via I2S output 1 (left and right front channels) becomes the master control DAC. DACs two and
three (Left, Right Rear and Center, Sub) become slave DACs whose volume is controlled by DAC
One. Individual level adjustments of DACs Two and Three can be taken care of in the Levels menu
on DMP.
