The W4S DAC-2 is equipped with a balanced I
2
S connection via HDMI. Please note that
the DAC will
NOT offer playback from typical HDMI output connectors found on many DVD players (or similar devices)
,
and damage can occur if connected to such. The HDMI connector was used for speed, noise rejection, and
signal purity. With-in the connection, there are balanced versions of the I
2
S interface that offer superior
connectivity to any source which can output the signal. At the time this manual was written, the only component
capable of outputting the balanced I
2
S signal is the PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport. In the very near future
W4S will be coming out with a modification program which will offer proper circuitry to be added to many
components for those who wish to benefit from this jitter-free connection. Please contact us for more information
and current options.

Your new DAC-2 is equipped with both a DC trigger output and input. The Trigger input is on the top
and is used for the HT Bypass or Trigger on feature. In the setup menu under “REMOTE/TRIG” setting, you
can select the trigger input to be configured as a HT Bypass or Remote turn-on feature.
HT Bypass mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is Off, then the HT Bypass on trigger-in is active. There are a pair of analog
inputs (inner most pair of RCA’s) that should be connected to the pre-outs of a surround sound processor to be
switched in to bypass the DAC circuitry when in HT mode. When either the HT input is selected, or the trigger
input is activated, the HT inputs will be directly connected to the DAC outputs. This will offer a line-level pass
thru that can be used to feed your power amps as if the DAC wasn’t there to begin with.
When in the HT Bypass feature, different display dim settings can be set in the set-up menu. If the display
brightness is not as desired in the HT mode, you can select High, Med, Low, or Off for the display brightness
when the HT mode is activated. When going back to normal operation the pre-selected dim level will be
restored regardless of the HT Dim level setting.
Remote Trigger On mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is On, then the remote turn on with trigger-in is active. When the DC trigger
input is applied, then the DAC will power up as if you pushed the power button on the front panel. The last used
input will be selected upon power up. The trigger input signal needs to remain active for the unit to stay on.
Once the trigger falls low, the unit will return to the off state.
Trigger output:
The lower trigger connector is used for a trigger output to remotely power up power amplifiers when the DAC is
on or in HT mode. Connect one 3.5mm DC trigger cable from the trigger output of your source to the DAC
trigger input to remotely activate the HT bypass or remote turn on feature (one or the other based on the set-up
