Pre ­ wire the RAKK dac and I2S Interface Adapter (if used)
————————————————————————————
Wire the Input Select on the RAKK dac and I2S Interface Adapter
The RAKK dac offers four inputs: three SPDIF or AES/EBU inputs and one I2S input. Inputs 1
through 3 are the SPDIF or AES/EBU inputs and Input 4 is always the I2S input, even if you are
using only a single input.
There are two versions of the I2S Adapter. One offers a single input and the other provides three
inputs. If you have the version that has a single input, there is no need to pre-wire it. If you have
the version that has three inputs, you will need to pre-wire the input selection.
Selection for Input 4 is pre-wired as part of the pre-wire for the RAKK dac. Selection for Inputs
5 and 6 are part of the pre-wire of the I2S Adapter.
While there is a possibility of having six inputs, usually there will be fewer. Note that there is an
arbitrary association between each input and the position of the Input Select switch that selects
that input. For example, the third position on the Input Select switch may be wired to select
RAKK dac input 4, or I2S input 6.
————————————————————————————
1. If you have chosen to use only a single input, install a jumper wire between the Input Select
pad for that input and the adjacent “com” pad on the RAKK dac.
2. If you have chosen to use multiple inputs, you will prepare a cable. Two lengths are given for
each input: the first is used if the input is on the RAKK dac and the second (in parentheses) is
used if the input is on the I2S Adapter.
•
Prepare a 12½” #20 grey wire for the “common”.
•
Prepare a 12½” (13½”) #22 blue wire for the first input.
Loosely twist this wire around the grey wire – about two or three turns for the entire
length – just tight enough to keep the wires together, but loose enough so the individual
wires can be pulled where they are needed.
•
Prepare a 12¾” (13¾”) #22 orange wire for the second input.
Loosely twist this wire around the other wires.
•
If you are using a third input, prepare a 13” (14”) #22 violet wire.
Loosely twist this wire around the other wires.
•
If you are using a forth input, prepare a 13¼” (14¾”) #22 black wire.
Loosely twist this wire around the other wires.
•
If you are using a fifth input, prepare a 13½” (15”) #22 red wire.
Loosely twist this wire around the other wires.
•
If you are using a sixth input, prepare a 13¾” (15¼”) #22 white wire.
Loosely twist this wire around the other wires.
