Functions
Transport Interface
The 50-way header allows connection to the SXCD transport
unit using the ribbon cable supplied.
Caution! This header is polarised, please note polarity of mating
plug when connecting the ribbon cable.
Damage may occur to the transport and/or electronics if
ribbon cable is connected with the incorrect polarity.
Use only the supplied 50-way ribbon cable.
Analog Outputs
These single-ended (RCA) outputs provide line-level analog
audio, via suitable RCA interconnect cables, to a preamplifier or
integrated amplifier.
For more information on analog output specifications, please
refer to Chapter 12.
Digital Output
The single-ended (BNC) output provides a Sony/Philips Digital
Interface Standard (SPDIF) digital audio signal to an outboard
digital to analog converter (DAC) or digital receiver.
The SPDIF standard dictates 75Ω transmission of the digital
audio signal. Use a digital interconnect cable specifically
designed with a characteristic impedance of 75Ω, such as the
coaxial cable supplied.
A BNC connector has been used in place of the “standard” RCA
type because RCA connectors can never achieve a characteristic
impedance of 75Ω. Refer to Chapter 7 ‘Special Design Features’
for more information on why a BNC connector is used.
