Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to your preamplifier’s operating manual to verify that the pin assign-
ments of its input connectors correspond to the DAP. If not, wire the cable
so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin, or
reverse the leads of both your speaker cables to “reverse the reversal” and
restore correct polarity.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel balanced outputs of the DAP to
the corresponding inputs on your preamplifier (or power amplifier if you
are using the variable output mode of the DAP).
2 SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG OUTPUTS
These outputs provide single-ended analog audio (via cables equipped
with RCA-type connectors) to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver
equipped with single-ended inputs. Most components accept this type of
output.
If you engage the variable output mode of operation of the DAP, these out-
puts may be routed directly to a power amplifier. This mode of operation is
less desirable sonically than using a high quality active preamplifier, but
may be advantageous under some circumstances.
Caution! If you elect to use the variable output mode of the DAP to
allow direct-connection to a power amplifier, be certain to
turn the volume down to a low level before playing any music.
Sending a line-level (maximum volume) signal to your power
amplifier may endanger your loudspeakers.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel single-ended outputs of the
DAP to the corresponding inputs on your preamplifier (or power amplifier
if you are using the variable output mode of the DAP).
3 DIGITAL OUTPUT
This output provides digital audio (via a 75
Ω
cable equipped with RCA-
type connectors) to the digital input of a DAT, CD-R, MD, DCC, or any other
component that accepts an S/PDIF electrical digital input. It automatically
sends a copy of the currently selected digital source’s datastream to the
connected device for recording or further digital processing.
Connect the digital output of the DAP to the RCA input of your digital re-
corder using a high quality 75
Ω
cable such as Madrigal MDC-2.
