Features
The e22 DAC is based on the ES9018 Sabre
32
reference DAC chip. It delivers 32-bit precision capable of
resolving the smallest signal details. The chip feat res patented 32-bit Hyperstream™ architect re and
Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. ES9018 delivers the ind stry’s highest performance levels that will
satisfy the most demanding a dio enth siasts.
Windows ASIO Driver Advantages
Using ASIO brings niq e advantages that are hard to achieve and reliably verify with other Windows
driver technologies.
Automati Sampling Rate Swit hing
PCM data is always streamed witho t re-sampling. Native Windows drivers often req ire man al
sampling rate selection and may apply implicit re-sampling when the so rce rate differs from the rate
set in the Windows Control Panel.
Automati PCM / DSD Swit hing
A dio data is always streamed in its native format. e22 switches a tomatically between PCM and DSD
modes. DSD streams are processed in their native format witho t conversion to PCM.
Bit-perfe t operation independent from the Windows volume ontrol and mixer
The Windows vol me control and mixer are optimized to provide wide compatibility and easiness of
se. These feat res come at the expense of so nd q ality. The res lting o tp t is not bit-perfect or bit-
transparent. Third party proprietary Windows drivers are hard to be verified as bit-perfect beca se
factors beyond the control of the ser can change the Windows so nd processing chain.
O r proprietary ASIO implementation is completely independent from the Windows so nd system and
always operates in Excl sive Mode. Only one player can take control of the ASIO driver. When playback
starts the player sets the driver sampling rate to be the same as the native rate of the c rrent media file.
The so nd data stream is delivered to the e22 FIFO memory b ffer witho t any processing or
manip lation.
Asyn hronous USB mode eliminates jitter aused by the PC or the USB interfa e
Asynchrono s USB is a two-way comm nication method between a comp ter and an external USB
device. In this method, the USB device is r nning as a master, and the comp ter is acting as a slave that
delivers data only when req ested by the master.
In the case of the e22 DAC, so nd data is req ested by the FPGA core and stored in the device FIFO
memory b ffer. The FPGA core makes s re that the b ffer never gets empty d ring playback. Data from
the b ffer is streamed to the DAC chip. The precision of the timing of the o tp t stream is determined
only by the DAC oscillators and it is not degraded in any way by the PC clocks or by delays ca sed by the
USB interface.

Connectin and Powerin the e22 DAC
Before connecting, t rn off the power to all the components in yo r system.
Connectin the Di ital Inputs
All digital inp ts are galvanically isolated to eliminate gro nd loop noise. The e22 DAC accepts three
digital inp ts
• USB - This is the recommended and most capable inp t. It s pports 2 channels PCM p to 32 bit
resol tion at standard sampling freq encies from 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz, and DSD from 2.8224
MHz to 12.288 MHz.
Connect the e22 DAC to yo r comp ter sing the s pplied A-B USB cable. Most standard A-B
USB cables with length p to 6 ft (2m) can be sed.
• SPDIF IN1 - SPDIF Inp t, 75-ohm RCA. S pports 2 channels PCM p to 24 bit resol tion at
standard sampling freq encies from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz.
• SPDIF IN2 - SPDIF Inp t, TOSLINK, Optical. S pports 2 channels PCM p to 24 bit resol tion at
standard sampling freq encies from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz.
Connectin the Line Outputs
The e22 DAC offers two types of analog e line o tp ts - nbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR).
• Make s re that yo r analog e power amplifier is t rned off.
• RCA Line Outputs - Left / Right - Connect the Left and Right RCA line o tp ts of the e22 DAC to
the amplifier line inp ts.
or
• XLR Line Outputs - Left / Right - Connect the Left and Right XLR line o tp ts of the e22 DAC to
the amplifier line inp ts.
Tri er Output
When the e22DAC is on, a 12 VDC signal is sent from the Trigger O tp t to control other devices. When
the e22 ret rns to Standby, the trigger signal is discontin ed.
Direct Connection to Analo ue Power Amplifier
If yo r m sic so rces are digital, yo don't need a preamplifier. The b ilt-in vol me control allows
analog e power amplifiers to be connected directly to the e22 DAC. Amplification always brings some
level of noise and distortion. Eliminating nnecessary amplification helps to achieve higher level of
transparency.

Page | 12
Avoid connecting the
e22
DAC to receivers and any other so nd processing eq ipment
that performs analog e to digital (ADC) conversion. Digitizing the analog e o tp t signals
back to the digital domain for processing will ndo some of the benefits that e22 brings to
yo . Remember that yo r so nd system is as good as the weakest link in the so nd
processing chain.
Analo ue Interconnect Recommendations
Over-engineered interconnects made from exotic materials are nnecessary. When selecting cables, the
following characteristics are important:
• Reliable electrical contact
• Low resistance
• Rob st mechanical design
Remember that cables act as filters. The shorter the cable, the more transparent yo r system will be.
Connectin the Power Adapter
To minimize gro nd noise and h m, it is recommended to connect the power cords of all components to
a single point - s ally a single s rge protector with m ltiple o tlets. Connecting all components to a
single point, as close as it is practically possible minimizes the differences in gro nd potentials between
the components.
Using an Upgraded Power Supply
The e22 DAC comes with a 12V/1670mA power adapter. This power adapter has been
tested to comply with the DAC’s power s pply and q ality req irements and allows for
very high performance. A better nit may allow yo to release the last bit of performance
from the e22 DAC. Please be advised that sing a different power s pply than the one
incl ded in the package may void the warranty.
If yo decide to se another power s pply, the specifications marked on the back of the
e22 DAC m st be observed.
Sur e Protectors
We strongly recommend the se of s rge protectors for all of yo r a dio and video components.

Page | 13
Isolatin the Cable TV Ground
If yo have a cable TV connected to yo r a dio system, ens re that the TV cable gro nd is galvanically
isolated from the a dio system gro nd. The TV cable gro nd, s ally connected to the earth o tside
yo r home, can have a significantly different potential than the a dio gro nd. This condition can ca se
a dible h m. If yo s spect this is the case, se a cable TV gro nd isolator j st before the cable set-top
box or at the RF TV inp t.
When t rning on and off yo r so nd system, the power amplifier sho ld be the last
component to be t rned on and the first component to be t rned off. This prevents power
on/off transients from being transmitted to the lo dspeakers.

Page | 14
Remote Control Setup
The e22 DAC is programmed to work with the s pplied remote control. If yo like, yo can reprogram
the e22 DAC to work with a different IR remote control. The exaSo nd e22 DAC can be trained to
recognise commands from most infrared remote controls sing Sony and NEC IR protocols.
Use the following proced re to change remote control b tton assignments or to pair the e22 DAC with a
different remote control:
1.
