SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

The Analogue Outputs (11) use Gold plated RCA Phono sockets and should be connected to
the CD or LINE input of your Preamplifier or Amplifier.
Standard convention – Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – Black or White.
DIGITAL OUTPUT
The Digital Outputs (12) utilise; Gold plated RCA Phono socket for Coaxial SPDIF output, Tos-
link for Optical output and XLR for Balanced AES/EBU output. Any of these could be connected
to a corresponding input of an amplifier with a digital input, or to an outboard Digital to Analo-
gue converter (DAC).
IMPORTANT NOTE For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality in-
ter-connect cables such as ROKSAN HDC-03A High Definition Analogue Cable and HDC-01D
High Definition Coaxial Digital Cable.
DIGITAL INPUT
The K3 CD Di features two digital inputs:
• 1 x Coaxial/RCA (13)
• 1 x Toslink Optical (14)
Any device with a digital output can be connected to the K3 CD Di and the signal will be fed to
the analogue outputs of the player into the relevant amplification. If the digital source device
you wish to connect has either optical, coaxial (or both) digital output(s) it can be connected to
the CD Di to utilise the player's circuit for superior sound performance. (for operation instruc-
tions please refer to the following section.)
