There are two types of input sockets on the unit:
•
AES (Audio Engineering Society)
•
SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)
If you lock an AES or SPDIF input on the LINA Network DAC to
the LINA Master Clock, the source equipment will not be locked
to the Clock, resulting in periodic clicks, dropouts or distortion.
To use the LINA Network DAC in this way, use source equipment
that has a word clock input and a Master Clock with extra
outputs.
Connecting a single AES or SPDIF input
Most digital audio source equipment is fitted with at least one digital
output, which is usually an RCA phono connector. Satellite receivers
usually have a Toslink optical output.
1.
At the rear of the LINA Network DAC, connect a suitable cable to
one of the following sockets:
•
AES 1
•
AES 2
•
SPDIF 1
•
SPDIF 2
•
SPDIF 3
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the source equipment.
3.
Switch on the source equipment.
4.
If possible, play music on the source equipment to generate an
audio signal.
5. Change the source input on the unit.
