digital inputs of your SUPER DAC 2496. Take the analog outputs of the Super
DAC and plug them into the analog inputs of your "target" device. For more
information or suggestions for use, see the next section, "Typical Setup."
NOTE: For best results, use good quality digital cable. Digital AES/EBU
cable should be purchased in a professional audio store and has
110-ohm characteristic impedance. Good quality 75-ohm video cable will
work for coaxial S/PDIF.
After all connections are made, power up your equipment. Start with your
sound source, then the Super DAC, and then your audio target or sound
system.
TYPICAL SETUP
Your SUPER DAC 2496 is capable of receiving digital audio in three different
formats, AES/EBU on an XLR connector, S/PDIF on coaxial (RCA), and
TOSLINK on an optical connector. The source of this digital audio could be a
professional DAT deck, a computer digital I/O card, digital mixer, hard disk
recorder, consumer DATs, Mini Disc, DVD or CD player.
Typical Setup Fig. 1 shows any of these devices monitored through a sound
system.
