What is clone mode?
As you may have seen, any kind of operation on the audio will extend the word length to 24 bits. Due to filter ripple when upsampling, we drop the level by 0.1dB for all conversions ( even 44.1->44.1 ). Clone mode is a mode where you tell the Upsampler you want the same bits out as in when possible. When it’s on, and the in=out, the clone icon comes on the status display, and whatever you put in comes out. In Clone mode OFF, 16/44.1 will come out slightly quieter at 24/44.1 With Clone Mode ON, you’ll get out 16/44.1 at the same level. Listening to music with different sample rates The ideal scenario for multiple sample rates being input is to use USB input. Then decide on the optimal output sample rate, and set the master clock to be a sub-multiple of this (e.g. for DSD, 44.1k). Then lock the DAC to master clock and upsampler to master clock. Now, when the input sample rate changes, nothing loses lock. Differences between Scarlatti Upsampler and Purcell The patent pending (GB0817141.5)
