SIGNAL CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION

should be connected to a LINE input of your Preamplifi er or Amplifi er.
Standard convention – Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – Black or White.
DIGITAL INPUT: A variety of digital sources can be connected to the K3 DAC via a number of
inputs (XLR, Coaxial, Optical & USB), depending on the availability of digital output connector
type on the source.
To select the relevant input press either the right or left front-located Input buttons until the
desired input is illuminated.

CONNECTING A COMPUTER VIA USB

The two USB inputs can be used with a Windows or Mac operating system computer using a
USB B-type connector cable.

panel USB connections on desktop pcs often have a substandard internal wiring that can cause
degradation to the usb signal.

fi rst connected to the MAC.
