Calibrating my converters

I have owned a Rosetta 800 for just over a year. I bought it used, and have never messed with the callibration. It sounds good and I'm not having any problems, but this is my first converter, having upgraded from the converters in my Digi 001. I don't really understand callibration and whether I should do this to my converter. Should I do this? If so, when, why, and how? Thanks for your help.

The easy way is to reset the Roesetta to factory calibration. I think it comes to -16dbfs.

OK. In looking at the manual it talks about jumper pins, which seem to be on the inside of the unit. I'm not the most technically savy person, so I'm usually hesitant to open up gear that I don't know much about. Is there a way to set it to factory calibration without opening it up?

Ok, I have looked at the manual of my Rosetta 200 and for doing the reset you have to power up the unit while holding down the sample rate button.

Default level of +4dBu=-16dBFs ( +/- 0.2 dB )

Hope this helps
