CONNECTIONS:
Please ensure that the DAC0.1x and any source equipment is switched off before
making any connections.
NOTE: It is important that all connections are firm, secure and airtight; any oxidisation of
the interconnects will result in loss of performance. Always use high quality
interconnects; Audio Note interconnects are recommended, as they are manufactured to
the same exacting standards as all of our products.
Inputs:
The DAC0.1x provides two digital inputs; a 75Ω RCA unbalanced input and ‘B-type’
male USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 connector. Optical inputs are not provided as we have found
optical transmission to sound far inferior to transmission via a standard coaxial cable.
Connect the unbalanced input to your CD transport or other digital source and/or
USB input to your computer.
Outputs:
The DAC0.1x has one unbalanced analogue output. This consists of a stereo pair of
RCA connectors, colour-coded red for right channel and black for left channel. Connect
the output to a suitable pre-amplifier.
Mains power connector:
An IEC power connector is located on the back of the DAC0.1x. Use the supplied
power cable to connect the DAC to the mains supply. Ensure the power is off at the
switch when you do this.
