Output volume knob sets the output 
volume with range from mute to max. 
This is factory default. The knob can 
be disabled with internal jumpers. 
Additionally internal precision 10 turn 
trimpots can be used to set the overall 
gain of the output. Refer to "Internal 
jumper settings" for details.

Input selection. Selects 
which digital input source 
to use for conversion to 
analog. 

Peak meter in -
dBFS. The red LED 
marked "0" 
corresponds to 1 
sample overload.

Hi-Fidelity, high drive 
headphone out can drive 
any type of headphones 
with ultimate fidelity. It is 
able to provide up to 1 Amp 
of instant current drive. The 
headphone out is the same 
as XLR and it's always 
routed through the knob.

When converter is synced to input its behaviour is 
similar to real world situtation with some but not 
full immunity to jitter. Superlock Mode uses stable 
internal clock  and provides the best clock stability 
(10ps) and thus the best conversion. In 
Superlock(tm) mode any signal is upsampled to 
full 24 bit, 192k resolution and subsequently 
converted to analog. The two modes are provided 
for comparison reasons ie. real world vs. ideal 
sound with no jitter.

Line power is 115VAC/50/60Hz 
(factory default) or 
230VAC/50/60Hz switchable by 
internal switch accessible after 
removing the top cover. 1 Amp 
slow blow 20mm fuse is also 
accessible under the cover.

Optical Toslink input can accept 
both SPDIF and AES formats. 
SPDIF format allows to interface 
with Mac computers, including 
Powermac laptops (up to 96kHz). 

Analog outputs are +4dB balanced. They can also 
be used to drive unbalanced inputs (pin1 GND, pin 
2 signal, pin 3 NC). If the signal is too hot for 
consumer unbalanced input, turn down the gain 
using internal precision gain trimpots.

AES/EBU SPDIF

"single wire" mode for all sampling 

frequencies.

1, SPDIF2 and OPTICAL inputs 

are seamlessly switchable on the front panel. This 
switch can be used as input selector for 4 sources. 
They operate in 

 Inputs accept signal up to 96k.
