  POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

Toggle the switch to switch between fully off and 

standby mode. When the DAC is in standby mode, the 

power consumption is less than 1W. When the DAC is 

on, the power consumption is less than 20W.

6

  POWER INLET (CAUTION!)

The DAC accepts mains voltages from 100 to 240VAC 

50-60Hz. The power inlet accepts power cables with 

an IEC 60320-C13 female connector. To ensure the 

best performance, please consult your Aavik Acous-

tics dealer for a suitable mains cable.

  TRIGGER OUTPUTS

The DAC is equipped with two DC trigger connectors. 

These can be used to power-on the DAC, when the 

amplifier is switched on. Connect one of the con-

nectors to the amplifier. The second connector can 

be used to switch on a further piece of equipment. 

The DAC will switch on when 5-15VDC is applied to a 

trigger input.

  DIGITAL INPUTS

The DAC is equipped with the following digital inputs: 

USB input, TOSLINK optical S/P-DIF inputs, and BNC 

electrical S/P-DIF inputs.

TOSLINK OPTICAL INPUT

The DAC comes equipped with two optical S/P-DIF 

(32-192kHz, 16-24 bit) TOSLINK inputs.

BNC DIGITAL INPUTS

The DAC comes equipped with two electrical S/P-DIF 

(32-192kHz, 16-24 bit) digital inputs.

USB INPUT

The DAC comes equipped with one fully isolated, UAC 

2, asynchronous USB input. It supports 32-192kHz, 

16-24 bit PCM and DSD64/DSD128 using DoP 

encoding. 

When connecting a computer running Mac OS X or 

Linux, no drivers are needed.

For Windows a driver can be downloaded from the 

Aavik Acoustics website.

Note: When playing music in PCM format from a 

computer, the DAC supports sample rates up 

to 192kHz.
