Audio Connections
The Goldmund Eidos 18 and 18D are equipped in standard with the following
stereo output standard connectors :
o
75 Ohms RCA coaxial SPDIF connector.
o
TOSLINK optical cable output.
You may use these connectors to connect your DVD to a D/A converter or
digital preamplifier.
Goldmund recommends that the greatest care is taken when selecting the
cable linking the DVD to the D/A converter or digital preamplifier. The very
accurate signal provided by the Eidos 18/18D can easily be ruined by an
imperfect connection.
Use a "Goldmund Lineal
™
" cable from the coaxial output if you want to reach
the most accurate jitter-free connection for CD playback.
In addition, there are the following Analogue Audio Outputs :
o
2 x RCA (Left/Right) coaxial stereo analogue outputs.
o
6 x RCA 6 channel coaxial analogue outputs (needed for multichannel
DVD-Audio and SACD connection.
