Master and Slave Clock Operation
In Master mode (switch set to INT) the DAC6e provides the clock to the 
audio source. A cable needs to be connected from either the BNC Clock 
output or Optical Clock output from the DAC6e to the clock input of your 
audio source. This mode provides the best audio performance as the clock 
jitter is minimzed.
In Slave mode (switch set to EXT) the DAC6e locks to the clock as provided 
by the selected audio source (DSD or PCM).
Channel assignment when using EMM OptiLink to connect a CDSD to the DAC6e
The CDSD can play back up to 6 channels from SA-CD when combined with 
the DAC6e converter. In this case the analog output channels of the DAC6e 
have the following channel assignment:
Channel 1: Left front
Channel 2: Right front
Channel 3: Center front
Channel 4: Low Frequency Subwoofer
Channel 5: Left rear surround
Channel 6: Right rear surround
