Rear panel connections
(!) Unbalanced audio outputs
Single-ended conventional stereo outputs for connection to the line-level Phono/RCA inputs of an
amplifier.
®
Balanced audio outputs
The DacMagic Plus also features true balanced (XLR) outputs. This is a higher quality output that
can reject noise and interference when used with equipment with balanced inputs. These balanced
outputs are ideally suited for connection to amplifiers that feature this connection such as our own
8- series. XLR connectors should be wired as follows:
Pin 1 - Ground; Pin 2 - Hot (in-phase); Pin 3 - Cold (phase-inverted).
Note:
The DacMagic Plus is supplied as default with Digital Preamp mode enabled. In this mode the
output from the Unbalanced and Balanced audio outputs is controlled by the front panel Volume
control.
If you wish to disable this mode (and have fixed line-level level output from the Unbalanaced and
Balanced Audio outputs) switch the DacMagic Plus off, then push and hold the Volume control in
whilst switching the DacMagic Plus on.
The DacMagic Plus confirms the setting by flashing the source LEOs downwards for Digital Preamp
Mode and upwards for Fixed Line Level Mode.
