In this release, the unit generates DSD data at 2.822MS/s from either 1394
connector. For correct operation, the DAC must be locked to the 44.1kHz signal
on Verdi Encore‘s Word Clock Out connector (or the system must be locked to
a master clock running at 44.1kHz). We recommend using the 1.8 metre long,
6-way IEEE 1394 cable assembly and the BNC cable assembly provided. The
1394 indicator lights when the interface is active. See “IEEE 1394 Overview” on
page 32 for more information.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect both 1394 outputs to the same DAC or other destination
equipment - the interface system will be stuck in an endless loop and will not
work.
Power Link
These can be linked to similar connectors on other dCS units using a link cable.
All units linked in this way may be turned on or off or set to standby by pressing
a single Power button or sending one Remote Control command. Link cables
are available from dCS.
SUC
The Software Upgrade Connector is intended to be used by dCS service agents
to load new software into Verdi Encore.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect any other equipment to the SUC connector as this may
damage both Verdi Encore and the equipment so connected. Do not operate
Verdi Encore with a PC connected. Failure to observe this warning will void
the unit’s warranty, and may cause unpleasant effects in your system.
Power switch
The Power switch completely isolates the unit from the power supply. In normal
use, set it to the On position (I). Set it to Off (0) during electrical storms, or while
you are away for a long period.
IEC Power Inlet
Use with a 3 - pin IEC type power cable.
Mains Fuse
Replace only with a 20 x 5mm 500mA T HRC fuse. Please see page 42 for
replacement details.
Additional Information
The rear panel displays the following information about the unit:
• The manufacturer’s name and address.
• Supply voltage setting, frequency range and rated power.
• The short form of the unit serial number.
We will need the serial number (preferably the full serial number from the menu)
to give you support over the phone, or to ship you software updates.
