AMI MUSIK DS5 Owner’s manual
・Do not use harsh chemicals to clean your Unit. Clean only with spe-
cialized cleaners for electronics equipment.
・The AMI MUSIK DS5 comes with surge protection and voltage pro-
tection function against external electrical shock or overvoltage input.
The AMI MUSIK DS5 will be automatically stopped to protect the
product and avoid internal circuit damage. This is a normal behavior
of the AMI MUSIK DS5.

3. Produc fea ures & Componen s
• DSD DAC and headphone amp supporting 2.8MHz (DSD64)/5.6MHz
(DSD128)
• Standalone DAC support (with coaxial and optical input)
• Asynchronous USB operation: bit-perfect digital audio and low clock
jitter.
• USB audio class 2 (up to 24bit/192kHz) and high-speed asynchro-
nous mode: Microsoft Windows® XP, Windows® Vista and Win-
dows® 7 (32bit/64bit) with special driver compatible with
WDM/Direct X, ASIO 2.1 and WASAPI exclusive. Apple OSX ver-
sion 10.6.4 and above & Linux Kernel 2.6.37 and above (no driver
install required).
• Atmel SAM3 Cortex™-M3 microcontroller to support up to
32bit/384kHz, DSD64/DSD128 audio data (support up to 192kHz
with CS4398)
• Customized AMANERO Technologies COMBO384 USB 2.0 Audio
Class solution supporting PCM 24bit/192kHz and DSD64/DSD128.
This solution provides Mute/DSD out enable pin allowing to safely
shifting between PCM and DSD.
• AMANERO firmware update manager allows updating possible fu-
ture firmware via online.
• Cirrus Logic CS4398 (120dB, 192kHz multibit DAC) 120dB dynamic
range, advanced segment DAC architecture supporting
DSD64/DSD128 format and automatic mute algorithm.
• Wolfson WM8804 S/PDI transceiver supporting advanced jitter
attenuating PLL with low intrinsic period jitter of 50ps RMS provid-
ing even best audio playback experience from external signal input.
• TI TPA6130A2 Stereo headphone amplifier for superior PCM and
DSD signal playback via headphone (Max 16 Ω138mW)
• Over voltage protection logic. In case of AMI MUSIK DS5 reaches
5.5V, the protection logic would activate to protect the DAC, and
various IC.
• 2 W 1:1 input range, dual unregulated output, 1000 Vdc isolation,
DC-DC converter
High-efficiency analog power supply circuitry for supporting sec-
ondary rectification by linear regulator for isolating +/- 12V unreg-
ulated power generated from the +5V external power thoroughly
blocking external intervention from analog power and providing
clean, low energy, low heat DC power
• Dual line output mode support pure DAC mode (fixed gain) and pre-
amp mode (variable gain, digital volume control)
• 20PPR mechanical encoders Quadrature 20-step encoder allowing
control of on/off power, volume control, D U mode in/output.
• ade in/out featured for switching mode and playback for your hear-
ing protection.
• 7T/5T aluminum front/top for anti-vibration
