incoming sample rate of the signal is being directly processed and converted. CONVERSION however

indicates an ongoing upsampling process of the incoming signal to a desired sample rate.

The digital filter settings SHARP and STEEP can be set according to your personal preference.

Technically speaking, the setting SHARP indicates a steep filter characteristic at the upper end of the

frequency band, leading both to a flat amplitude frequency response and a rather strong phase

rotation. STEEP however leads to a less steep filter characteristic by showing a slightly earlier

attenuation of the amplitude frequency response with almost no phase rotation.

Please note that a chosen filter setting is only true for a selected input and is being recalled every time

you select the respective input again, even when the device has completey been switched off before.

2.13 USB B Digital Input

button (4).

LO RES can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to 48kHz without the

need for an additional audio driver on your Windows PC or Macintosh Computer.

HI RES can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to 192kHz without to

install an audio driver on your Macintosh Computer. If you are using a Windows PC you will need to

install an additional driver which is availbale for download on the respective product page at

www.avm-audio.com.

HI RES bietet Ihnen die Wiedergabe von Sampleraten von bis zu 192kHz. Mac OSX benötigt hierzu

ebenfalls keine zusätzlichen Treiber. PC-Systeme mit Windows hingeben benötigen einen zusätzlichen

Treiber, der Ihnen auf der entsprechenden Produktseite unter www.avm-audio.com zum Download zur
