Figure 8 – Upsampling a CD to 24/96 (or 24/192)
The dCS 974 converts a 44.1 kS/s 16 bit SPDIF input to a Dual AES 96 kS/s 24
bit signal available from AES 1 & AES 2 outputs. There is no information added
in the process, although you may wish to check theory here.
do this: Connect a source of CD material to the RCA input on the dCS 974.
do this: Enter the Sample Rate Conversion settings below.
do this: Connect Dual AES data from both AES 1 and AES 2 outputs to a DAC of your
choice.
do this: If your DAC is a dCS Elgar, dCS Delius or dCS 954, you can set the Output
Sample Rate to 192kS/s instead.
