[. . . ] Verdi can read DSD data from an SACD and output a stereo pair of DSD data onto its 1394 interface. The data is encrypted to conform to the conditions of the DSD licensing arrangements. Either Elgar Plus or Delius will accept DSD data from the 1394 interface and convert it to high quality analogue. We will add other features and data formats at a later date, adopting industry standard formats as they stabilise. Synchronising IEEE 1394 interfaces The IEEE 1394 system is great for carrying large amounts or digital audio data ­ but is inherently very jittery. To ensure low-jitter conversion to analogue, each unit linked by the 1394 system must be synchronised to the others by another connection. · · · A DAC in slave mode should be sync'ed to Verdi by connecting Verdi's WClk Out to the DAC's WClk In. A DAC in master mode should sync Verdi by connecting the DAC's WClk Out to Verdi's WClk In. An Upsampler should be slaved to Verdi, usually by the selected PCM input (AES or RCA). Automatic Input Selection From October 2002 onwards, the software on the following products has been enhanced to automatically select the interface carrying data from Verdi: · · · · dCS Elgar Plus DAC, standard fit with software version 4. 20 or later. dCS Verdi SACD/CD Transport, standard fit with software version 1. 20 or later. dCS Verdi La Scala Upsampling SACD/CD Transport, standard fit, with the Easy Play menu set to Verdi. The system relies on a 1394 link between Verdi and the DAC. The DAC will automatically change inputs whenever Verdi changes layer or starts playing.

If the Verdi starts playing a CD and: · · · there is a second source on the 1394 bus (such as a Purcell), the DAC will select the other source. there are more than two other sources on the 1394 bus (such as a Purcell or another Verdi), the DAC will select one of the other sources. Verdi is the only source on the 1394 bus, the DAC will scan the PCM inputs and select the first active one it finds. The priority order is: AES1 (and Dual AES) first, AES2, RCA1, RCA2, TOS, ST, BNC. If the active input is not derived from Verdi, you may have to manually select the source you want. If none of the PCM inputs are active, the DAC will remain selected to the original 1394 channel. This arrangement works best with only two inputs connected to the DAC ­ Verdi's 1394 feed for SACD's and either a PCM feed from Verdi or an upsampled feed from Verdi. The DAC can be in master or slave mode ­ we recommend master mode. If you are using a Purcell in Dual AES mode (rather than DSD mode), you should set the DAC's Dual AES menu page to either Lock or Auto. The DAC has enough information about the system set-up to report connection and setting errors.
