Delta 70.2 Rear Panel Connections
Audio Outputs
Two pairs of audio outputs to your amplifier are available via
standard RCA type phono sockets, marked left and right. A pair of phono
to phono leads should be used to connect the player to your amplifier. A
basic cable of reasonable sound quality has been provided with the Delta
70.2 to "get you going' (but see notes on connecting cables below).
The average output level of both audio outputs is SOOmV (2V
RMS peak). You should connect the Delta 70.2 output to the CD or AUX
input of your amplifier.
The direct outputs on the Delta 70.2 offer the most direct
path from the internal D/A converter circuitry and hence give the best
sound quality.
The variable outputs, by offering a remote control volume
facility, give convenient armchair command over a useful but limited
range of 2 i dB with only a slight loss in audio quality.
Note: A set volume level will be lost when the power to the
player is switched off. When the player is switched on again the volume
will be set at normal full output level. Any other required listening level
will therefore need to be reset using the remote handset.
Digital Output
This single phono socket allows the Delta 70.2 user to reap
the sonic benefits achieved by using the player with an outboard D/A
converter, for example the Delta Black Box, or perhaps with a digital
pre-amplifier or amplifier equipped with its own internal DACs.
DO NOT connect the digital output of the Delta 70.2 to the
conventional inputs of any audio amplifier.
Connecting Cables
With high quality CD sources, such as the Delta 70.2 and
Delta 170, the quality of the cables which carry the analogue signals
between the player and the amplifier becomes of paramount
importance. Remember a hi-fi system is only as good as the weakest
link in the chain!
We strongly recommend that only first class interconnect
cables be used with your hi-fi system. (Of course the same
importance should also be attached to loudspeaker cables).
We have found interconnect and loudspeaker cables from
the AudioQuest LiveWire range to be particularly suitable.
We suggest that you discuss the question of cables with
your dealer. As a rule of thumb you might budget to spend between
5% and 20% of the price of your system on cable. This can be one of
the most effective upgrades you can carry out on your system.
