Step 4 - Using Delius in Master Mode
If your CD transport (or other source equipment sampling at 44.1kS/s) has a
Wordclock input, you can reduce the jitter in your system by using Delius in
Master mode and slaving the source to it. If not, you can miss out this step.
IMPORTANT! You can only use Master Mode if your source sample rate is 44.1kS/s.
do this: Connect Delius Wordclock Out connector to the wordclock input on the source
equipment. You may need to set the source equipment to slave to wordclock.
do this: Press the Function button to open the menu, then repeatedly press the Mute
button until the display shows MS:Slav. Press the
Select button repeatedly until
the display changes to MS:Mastr.
do this: Allow the menu to time-out.
IMPORTANT! If you are using an Upsampler, this MUST be set to convert a 44.1kS/s source
to either 44.1kS/s, 88.2kS/s, 176.4kS/s or DSD. If not, Delius will be unable
to lock.
The equipment will take several seconds to re-lock and settle down, then Delius
will unmute.
A Master mode setup using a CD player is shown in Figure 2.
