Make sure all those processing elements are bypassed. Particularly the
sampling rate conversion can creep in unnoticed. I.e. the sampling rate in the
Weiss Firewire IO window has to match the sampling rate of the file played, else
a conversion is going on in the operating system. For iTunes there is another issue
to consider: Whenever the sampling rate is changed in the AudioMidi setup or
the Weiss Firewire IO window, the iTunes program has to be restarted to regain
bit transparency. For iTunes running on a Mac computer a program like Sonic
Studio’s Amarra is highly recommended. Amarra switches the sampling rate in
AudioMidi (i.e. in the INT203) automatically depending on the sampling rate of
the file played. Amarra works in conjunction with iTunes. On a Windows based
system the use of ASIO or WASAPI is highly recommended. These systems
make it simple to achieve bit transparent playback. In addition the sampling
rate of the INT203 is switched automatically depending on the sampling rate of
the file played.
2.3.5 Remote Control
If you have acquired the remote control (fig. 2.4) for the INT203 then you can
control the volume and the polarity of the digital output signal transferred by the
INT203. The volume up/down switches (4/5) control the volume accordingly.
