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 Wyred 4 Sound MS-2, PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport, Empirical
Audio OR5 and the Channel Islands Transient MKII.
