2) Analog Output
XLR Balanced & RCA Unbalanced outputs are provided for the connection of power amplifiers. Both outputs can
be used at the same time.
* 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.
*BE SURE TO TURN THE POWER OFF WHEN YOU CHANGE MODE SWITCH.
3) 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.
4) 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.
