About the 4 input module slots

The DAC has four input module slots.  They are labeled A through D.  

There are two classes of input modules, analog and digital.  Analog 

modules must be placed adjacent to the analog output module.  They 

can be either be additional analog inputs or a second analog output 

module. Digital modules can be placed in any position. Each module is 

completely self contained.  It is recognized by the DAC and identified 

on the display.  When the module is not in use it is disabled.

Available Digital Input Modules

 

ProI

2

S MSB’s  proprietary  interface  for  use  with  MSB 

transports. This module provides two inputs.

XLR S/PDIF A single XLR digital input with a word sync output.

Optical/Coaxial 

S/PDIF

A Toslink and Coaxial digital input with a word sync 

output.

MQA USB A single USB interface for playback via a computer 

based  device.  This  module  provides  support  for 

MQA decoding. (See USB manual for operation and 

setup details)

Renderer A  renderer  interface  for  use  on  a  home  network 

or server. (See Renderer manual for operation and 

setup details)

Pro ISL MSB  proprietary  interface  for  use  with  MSB 

transports. This module provides one input.

Available Preamps

The DAC is available with one output module, but a specialized inline 

XLR to RCA adaptor can be ordered.

Balanced 

Preamp

Offers one set of balanced analog inputs and outputs. 

Provides  volume  control  with  our  passive  constant 

impedance volume control technology.

Single-Ended 

Adapter

For  Single-Ended  operation  of  the  product,  it  is 

necessary  to  buy  the  XLR  to  RCA  adapters.  These 

adapters allow for the highest level of quality to be 

achieved  for  your  DAC  by  moving  the  conversion 

components  as  far  from  the  crucial  and  sensitive 

preamp components of your Preamp module.
