connecting digital Audio sources
The digital audio inputs of the DAC XP Signature are compatible with a
number of different digital audio sources. These include-
Digital Audio output from a CD player •
DVD players (for replay of 2 channel PCM programs only) •
Digital tape/disc recorders •
Digital Radio •
Digital Satellite receivers (for replay of 2 channel PCM programs •
only)
Using a suitable Toslink optical or Digital phono interconnect, connect
each digital audio source to one of the inputs 1~6. Make a note of the
input number used for each source as the inputs of the DAC XP Signature
can be re-named at the set-up stage.
connecting Analogue Audio sources
Analogue Inputs 7-8 are available for the connection of stereo analogue
audio sources to the DAC XP Signature. Inputs 7-8 are intended for use
with analogue program sources which include-
Analogue output from CD/DVD Players •
Televisions •
Analogue Satellite Receivers •
FM Radio tuners •
Analogue VCRs/Tape recorders •
Surround decoders •
connecting Power amplifiers
External power amplifiers are necessary to drive the system speakers.
Both stereo and high power monoblock Cyrus power amplifiers are
available to partner the DAC XP Signature and a choice of RCA phono or
balanced outputs is provided.
NOTE:- Take care to connect each of the DAC XP Signature output
channels to the correct power amplifier and loudspeaker.
connecting to power amplifiers with phono inputs
With suitable phono interconnects, connect from the Pre Out terminals
1%
to the power amplifier inputs. The system loudspeakers may then be
connected to each power amplifier. Dual outputs are provided to enable
the connection of two amplifiers for bi-amping.
connecting to power amplifiers with balanced inputs
With suitable Balanced interconnects, connect from the Balanced Output
terminals
a to the power amplifier inputs. The system loudspeakers may
then be connected to each power amplifier. Dual outputs are provided to
enable the connection of two amplifiers for bi-amping.
fixed output
The Fixed output is connected directly to the internal DAC stage of the
DAC XP Signature and bypasses the internal preamplifier and volume
control. It may be used to feed the DAC stage output to an external system
preamplifier, or for high quality tape recording from digital sources.
NOTE:- Analogue inputs 7 and 8 are not routed to the Fixed output.
CAUTION:- Do not connect power amplifiers to the Fixed output.
connecting a cyrus surround sound decoder
In a Cyrus multi-channel surround sound system the surround decoder
may be connected through the DAC XP Signature to share the same front
channel power amplifiers.
In this case, connect a stereo phono interconnect from the front channel
outputs of the surround decoder to the Input 7 sockets
1# of the DAC
XP Signature. For this system to function correctly both the DAC XP
Signature and the Cyrus surround decoder must be included in an MC-
BUS connection loop and the ‘Cyrus AV’ input name must be set for Input
7 (see ‘MC-BUS’ section and ‘Input names’ in the ‘Setup menu’ section).
When set up in this way, the DAC XP Signature will automatically check
for the presence of the decoder when the ‘Cyrus AV’ input is selected,
then lock the DAC XP Signature volume setting to an appropriate level.
connecting a surround sound decoder (other brand)
If your system includes a multi-channel surround sound decoder (but not
a Cyrus model), it may be connected through your DAC to drive the front
channel speakers.
In this case, connect a stereo phono interconnect from the front channel
outputs of the surround decoder to one of the Analogue Inputs of the DAC.
For this system to function correctly, the ‘AV Direct’ input name must be
set for the input used (see ‘Input names’ in the ‘Setup menu’ section).
When set up in this way, the DAC will automatically lock its volume setting
to a fixed level to match the output of the surround decoder.
CAUTION: The ‘AV Direct’ input name should only be used for surround
decoders that include a volume control, as the volume control of your DAC
will be fixed at a very high level.
connecting to the digital Output
An optical Digital Output
d
is provided for the connection of another
digital device to the DAC XP Signature. This may include such devices
as a multi-channel surround decoder or a digital tape/disc recorder. The
currently selected digital input signal will be routed to this output.
