Arcam Digital Pre -Amplifier Delta 110 - Manual (Page 13)

Delta no digital pre-amplifier
Addendum
The Arcam Delta 110 digital pre-amplifier has been upgraded
'vith the inclusion of a new precision hybrid 18 bit DAC (digital to
lalogue converter).
This new DAC employs both multi-bit and single bit
technology to give outstanding results. To achieve an open and dynamic
midrange and treble, multi-bit technology is used for the upper 10 bits.
The lowers bits use a single bit system for excellent low level resolution.
In addition, the Delta 110 features a clock output for
connecting to the Arcam Delta 170.3 CD transport. By installing the
master clock in the Delta 110 and the slave clock in the Delta 170.3,
jitter is greatly reduced, resulting in sound quality usually attributed to
very expensive high end CD players.
Instructions on how to connect the D110 to the Delta
170.3 follow. All other instructions in the manual are unaffected by the
inclusion of the new DAC.

Connecting to the Arcam Delta 170.3 CD transport
In addition to the digital connection from the Delta 170.3 to
the Delta 110, connect the Delta 110's 'SYNC LOCK' clock output to the
Delta 170.3's clock input using a Toslink type optical cable. This method
will give the very best sound quality. The Delta 170.3 and the Delta 110
will 'synchronise'automatically.
