The Sample Rate Selector Tool icon will tell you the current sample rate setting. Note the following
color-coded icons to help you identify the currently selected Sample Rate:
44.1 kHz
88.2 kHz
176.4 kHz
48 kHz
96 kHz
192 kHz
NOTE:
You may use the Sample Rate Selector Tool either to listen to your music in its native sample
rate OR to enable software-based upsampling. If you are listening to digital files that have higher
resolution rates than a standard CD (44.1 kHz), then you MUST set the rate to match this higher
native rate. If you do not do this, you will experience degradation of the music as the software
downsamples
.
Toslink
™
. If you are using an optical Toslink connection to your DAC, you must click on “Toslink
(Optical Out)” and choose your sample rate from the resulting menu. (Note that the Toslink
connection is limited to a maximum of 96 kHz.)
Digital Capture
. T
he Digital Capture option allows the Black Box to synchronize with an external
word clock. These settings will be used when:
Using an external word clock, synchronized via the S/PDIF input. Use of an external word
clock may, or may not improve sonic performance as the clocking system within the Black Box
is extremely accurate.
Using a MSB analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or a MSB modified digital player as a digital
input source. Black Box users may capture the digital data from these sources through
proprietary MSB Network interface on the Black Box. Use the blue cable provided with your
