1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Brooklyn DAC from Mytek Digital and welcome to the Mytek users'
community.
Over 20 years of experience in building mastering grade converters and other audio equipment has
been utilized to create this digital to analog converter. Its sophisticated audio path is designed to
deliver bit perfect, high quality, transparent sound to your speakers and headphones. The Brooklyn
DAC will play:
• PCM up to 32 bit / 384 kHz.
• DSD64, DSD128, DSD256
• MQA master quality les o online streaming services.
• Vinyl records utilizing its precision M/C, M/M phono preamplier.
• Any other digital source equipped with Toslink, SPDIF, AES or DSD SDIF out.
• Any other analog source plugged into analog input.
The Brooklyn DAC has been optimized for highest performance under Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
Based on a newly developed Mytek Hi-Speed USB (USB2) Audio Class 2 32bit/384kHz Integer Interface,
the Brooklyn DAC provides very low latencies as well as extreme stability.
Fast Windows drivers including ASIO & WASAPI are provided. Mac OSX and Linux computers as well
as the Linux audio streaming devices do not require a driver.
Enjoy your new Brooklyn DAC!
All the best,
The Mytek Digital Team

4.2 Rear Panel
1. Balanced XLR Stereo Analog Output
2. RCA Stereo Analog Output
3. RCA Stereo Analog Input
4. AES/EBU Input. Professional digital input which accepts up to 192kHz/24bit. Accepts DSD DOP
standard input up to DSD64. This input can also be used to transmit digital audio into computer via
USB2 connection.
5. S/PDIF Coaxial Input 1 and S/PDIF Coaxial Input 2 . These are digital inputs which accept up to
192kHz/24bit. They also accept DSD DOP standard input up to DSD64. This input can also be used
to transmit digital audio into computer via USB2 connection. To obtain best results, use a high
quality 75 ohm digital RCA interconnect cable.
Note – these two inputs can also operate as stereo SDIF2/3 DSD
input with 2 BNC->RCA adapters for use with professional DSD
recording equipment (such as Tascam Master Recorders).
6. Mytek proprietary USB 2.0 Class 2, up to 32bit/384k, DSD256, also accepts digital AES, SPDIF
and Toslink inputs. This USB interface also allows stacking of multiple Mytek units for multichannel
operation.
7. Optical Input (Toslink / ADAT). Digital input which accepts up to 192kHz/24bit. Accepts DSD DOP
standard input up to DSD64. This input can also be used to transmit digital audio into computer via
USB2 connection. For best results use short high quality TOSLINK cable. Special glass ber Toslink
cable allows for longer cable runs and is less jittery than regular plastic ber.
8. Wordclock BNC input. Can be used for professional clock distribution and for syncing multiple
units and as DSD reference clock. Can also be used for connecting the Brooklyn to external clock.
However, we recommend running Mytek on Internal Clock, using the built in Mytek FemtoClock
which is by far superior (<1ps jitter) to any clock source connected from outside.
9. Wordclock BNC output. Used for professional clock distribution. 192KHz and DSD reference clock.
Mytek Femtoclock Generator (tm)” 0.82ps internal jitter, Wordclock Input and Output (allows
stacking multiple units for multichannel operation, includes multichannel DSD)
10. Phono ground
11. Optional external DC / Battery Power input; 12VDC. Connecting a large external battery or large
power supply may have positive impact on sound quality.
12. The build in automatic power supply operates in the range of 100V to 240V AC

Quick Start – Immediate Playback AES/EBU, SPDIF and Toslink
Connect the analog outputs to your powered speakers, power amplier or preamplier. Alternatively
use headphones. Connect the digital source (CD player) to the DAC. Power up the player, power
amplier and the Brooklyn DAC. Upon power up, the DAC will default to its default settings hand
picked by our team to produces the optimal sound quality. Choose the input you would like to use.
Attention! To prevent damage, do not turn on your speakers on
until all connections have been made
5. Windows installation and conguration
• Turn o your amplier then connect the Brooklyn DAC Analog Outputs to your amplier’s
analog inputs. Balanced connections (XLR) are typically for professional audio equipment while
unbalanced connections (RCA) are typically for consumer audio equipment.
• Note that for proper operation it is necessary to install the USB2 driver (Windows only) and Mytek
Control application. Both these have separate installers.
5.1 Windows – USB 2.0 driver installation

when the ash process is nished.
5. When the update is nished the the DAC will reset and start in sleep mode. To switch it on press
the knob once. Once the DAC has been restarted the rmware update is complete. A reboot of
the computer is not necessary.
When the update fails:
1. Disconnect power cord.
2. Press and hold the rst (from the left) button and connect the power cord again.
3. The DAC runs in Bootloader mode. The logo becomes white and blinks constantly.
4. The update process should then be tried again.
8. User Adjustments
8.1 Reduction the output level
Internal -6db Gain Jumpers: these 4
jumpers allow the user to reduce the output
level of the Brooklyn DAC by 6 db without
aecting sound quality. All 4 jumpers must
be engaged to ensure proper operation and
should only be used when the DAC is clearly
overloading the following amplier stage in
the chain.
Note! - the power cable must bedisconnected during the jumpers
adjustment. Otherwise the DAC might get damaged.

9.2.4 Output signal routing
• HP - the signal is available on headphones output only
• MAIN - the signal is available on XLR and RCA outputs.
• BOTH - the signal is available simultaneously on MAIN (XLR & RCA) and HP outputs
• AUTO - Brooklyn DAC detects if headphones has been connected. MAIN outputs are muted.
9.2.5 Sync
There is always only one master device in digital world. The others have to operate as a slave.
That is why an external digital devices such as CD players, digital recorders etc. have to be also
congured properly. Otherwise clicks, drops, distortions might appear in the nal signal. Following
sync options are available:
• INT (Internal) / USB / Inncoming signal is synced to the converter’s ultra-low jitter internal
crystal oscillator. This choice assures the best DAC performance and is superior to any (even
Atomic) clock supplied from outside because of its close proximity to DAC clocking chipset. The
DAC operates as master device. WordClock OUT transmits master clock signal
• WCK (Word Clock) / available for USB, AES, SPDIF1 &2, Toslink, SDIF / the DAC can operate as
the master or slave device.
The Brooklyn DAC is master and external device is slave: Brooklyn DAC WCK OUT -> external device WCK IN
The Brooklyn DAC is slave and external device is master: Brooklyn DAC WCK IN -> external device WCK OUT
• IN (Input) /available for AES, SPDIF1 &2, Toslink / the DAC operates as slave device.

10. MQA - Master Quality Authenticated
The Brooklyn DAC is capable to decode MQA les. The option can be activated in the Brooklyn DAC's
menu. The colour of the MQA logo indicates if the MQA stream is detected.
• Grey logo – MQA not found, MQA stream is not detected
• Green logo – MQA valid, the MQA is detected
• Blue logo – MQA authored, the MQA is detected and the le is fully authenticated. You can be
sure you are hearing exactly what the artist approved in the studio
What is MQA?
MQA is audio recording and compression format created by Meridian Audio. It is also a new sophisticated
method of digitally storing recorded music as a le that is small and convenient to download or even
stream. There are no sonic sacrices that are usually associated with compressed les. What this
basically means is that high resolution audio streaming could nally be a reality, with songs being
able to be delivered exactly how they were recorded in the studio, without requiring huge amounts of
bandwidth to deliver.
How does MQA work?
MQA can pack up the information from a lossless 24-bit 192kHz PCM le into the sort of space needed
for a 24-bit / 44.1KHz stream. In practice, MQA is delivered to listeners as a typical lossless le, such
as FLAC or Apple Lossless at 44kHz or 48kHz at 24 bits.
