Denafrips Terminator+ 12th - Clock Out LED on - Operation Help.


Hi,  My apologies if there is a thorough explanation of this topic; I cannot find it - feel free to point me to it.

I recently got a Denafrips Terminator Plus 12th Anniversary DAC.  I am running USB straight from my computer, and have the appropriate output selected.  It runs fine.  However, the "CLOCK OUT" led is lit up - which leads me to believe it is wanting to rely on an external clock or is attempting to send its clock signal out.

I am only running the DAC - no external clock.  Literally, Computer USB -> DAC -> Benchmark HP4 (as headphone amp and pre) -> Classe' Sigma Amp2 -> Speakers.

Can someone help me figure out how to address this Clock Out thing?  Seems like that light should not be on.

Please help,

~Nick

If you don't find a related setting in the manual possibly to disable the CLOCK OUT, an email to Alvin at Vinshine Audio (assuming that's where you purchased the T+ 12th) should get you the answer you're looking for.

Roger that.

 

DENAFRIPS Terminator II/Plus Clock Out setting
1. Press Mute button to engage mute/setting mode

2. Press Input- button momentarily multiple times. You will see the LED light up in the following sequence as you press/release the Input- button

  • COAX (Word clock output)
  • AES1 (44.1K/48K)
  • AES2 (24/25Mhz) <- for Soundaware
  • OPT (45/49Mhz) <- for GAIA
  • I2S-A (Clock out disable, note that CLOCK LED will be off too)

 

You may disable to clock out if you are not connecting the clock out to an external device (I.e DENAFRIPS DDC)

 

@nlynchard , I'll respond to your email shortly 👍 

 

Cheers,
