Analog Input
y
Balanced :
XLR Balanced input is used for the finest quality sound. Connect your equipment
which has an XLR/Balanced Output by a Balanced Interconnect.
y
Unbalanced :
RCA Unbalanced input can be plugged into this input. Output from FM Tuner,
Tape-Out, VCR-Out etc. can be connected into this input.
y
Surround :
For home theater use only. Connect main out from your surround processor with
this ‘Surround’ input. When in Surround mode, the volume control of the DAC
1000 is not valid. You should control the volume from the surround processor.
The display window on the front panel shows “SURROUND MODE”.
Another press of ‘Surround’ button will bring you back to normal DAC 1000
status.
Analog Output
XLR Balanced & RCA Unbalanced outputs are provided for the connection of power amplifiers.
Both outputs can be used at the same time.
Note:
We recommend XLR Balanced connection for better performance.

Fixed/Variable
switch
:
The DAC 1000 is designed primarily to be used as a DAC/Preamp in which case
the switch should be in ‘VARIABLE’ mode (default mode).
But, for those who already own a high-end preamplifier, the DAC 1000 can
be switched to a fixed-output Digital to Analog Converter. To use the DAC
1000 as a pure DAC Stage, change output mode switch on the rear panel to
‘FIXED’ mode.
Warning!
Be sure to turn the power “OFF” when you change mode switch.
Digital Input
AES/EBU Balanced Digital is the best solution for Digital playback when connected to the
transport with 110 ohm balanced digital cables. Coax 1 & 2 are generally used ports for digital
connection. Optical Toslink is for optical connection. Use proper Toslink optical cable for this
connection.
Digital Output
The DAC 1000 routes digital input signals to its 4 digital outputs. You can designate the specific
input to be routed on 4 digital output ports by pressing ‘RECORD’ button either from the remote
or from the front panel.
