Switch on the source equipment. If appropriate, load a disk / tape and set the
machine in PLAY mode to ensure it is generating a digital audio data stream.
Choose one of the following three sections:
Most source equipment (such as CD transports, DVD players) is fitted with a
single wire digital output, usually on an RCA phono connector.
Connect your source equipment to the matching input on the Delius rear panel
using a suitable cable.
Press the button repeatedly until your chosen input is displayed on the

Check that your source equipment is capable of Dual AES operation.
Connect the AES 1 (or AES A) output on your source equipment to the
input on the Delius rear panel and the AES 2 (or AES B) output to the
input, using two XLR cables. Ensure the cables are not swapped.

Check that your source equipment (probably an SACD player or a dCS
Upsampler) is capable of DSD operation over a 1394 link, generates a 44.1kHz
wordclock and is set up correctly.
Connect one 1394 output on your source equipment to one

to the connector on the Delius rear panel.
