User manual for the Benchmark DAC2 DX Digital to Audio Converter 500-15300-600

The user manual for the Benchmark DAC2 DX Digital to Audio Converter 500-15300-600 provides necessary instructions for the proper use of the product Pro Audio - Recording - Monitoring Accessories.

The DAC2 DX Digital to Audio Converter from Benchmark is a digital to analog converter with XLR AES digital input and dual stereo balanced/unbalanced analog output. The DAC2 system supports multi-mode asynchronous USB system. It features low noise, low distortion, improved accuracy, outstanding musical detail, precise stereo imaging, an advanced digital filter design, and a high sample-rate asynchronous USB audio interface. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by the UltraLock2 jitter attenuation system. Internal digital processing and conversion is 32-bits, and includes 3.5 dB of headroom above 0 dBFS. Three balanced 32-bit D/A converter are summed together for the main output bus. Two channels are reserved for the auxiliary RCA output bus. DSD (in DoP 1.1 format) is automatically detected on the USB, coaxial, and XLR digital inputs. The system switches between native DSD and native PCM conversion.

The DAC2 DX combines active analog gain control, passive low-impedance attenuators, a 32-bit digital gain control, and a servo-driven volume control. The gain coefficients are filtered and passed to a 32-bit high-headroom DSP system. The 32-bit output of this system is connected to the 32-bit digital to analog converters. The DSP system is designed to preserve L/R balance and stereo imaging.

This unit supports USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. It is frequency agile, and will follow sample rate changes initiated by the computer and/or the media playback software. The USB communications are asynchronous in all modes. This USB mode can be selected from the front panel or from the remote control (sold separately). The driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode allows quick plug-and-play connections to Windows, MAC, iOS, and many Linux operating systems without installing drivers. The USB subsystem remains active when the DAC2 DX converter is powered down. This prevents interruptions to the computer playback operations and eliminates the need to reconfigure the computer every time the converter is turned on.

The DAC2 DX has a low-jitter master clock which controls the transfer of audio data from the computer to the USB sub-system. The computer asynchronously transfers audio data to a buffer in the DAC2 DX. The Asynchronous USB system supports USB Audio 2.0 for high-resolution 192kHz, and DSD playback. No drivers are required for MAC operating systems. An easy-to-install driver adds 192 kHz and DSD capabilities to Windows operating systems.

The DAC2 DX has two analog output buses. Each bus can be placed in a volume-control bypass mode in order to provide a full-level output to a downstream analog volume control. The bypass function should be enabled whenever a Hi-Fi preamplifier is inserted between the converter and the power amplifier. The second coaxial input can be reconfigured as a digital output. In output mode, any selected digital input (including USB) will pass through to the coaxial output. The digital pass through is bit-transparent and even supports DSD (DoP 1.1). Dolby digital and DTS formats can be passed through to a surround processor.

The DAC2 features the HPA2 high-current, zero-ohm headphone power amplifier designed to deliver the full performance of the DAC2 to the headphones. The HPA2 maintains less than 0.0003% THD+N under full load. The DAC2 has two 1/4" headphone jacks on the front panel. The performance of the HPA2 remains consistent even when two headphones are being driven simultaneously. This unit is 1/2 rack wide, and requires a blank plate and coupler if mounted by itself. Two units can be mounted side-by-side in a standard 19" rack.
