How To Operate When In Dac Mode - McIntosh D1100 Owner's Manual

How to Operate the D1100 when in the
DAC Mode
The D1100 has two modes of operation. The default
mode of operation is as a Digital Preamplifier. Refer
to page 20 for "How to Operate the D1100 as a Digital
Preamplifier".
The second mode of operation is as a Digital to
Analog Converter (DAC) to be used with components
such as an Analog only Preamplifier. Some of those
Preamplifiers have a special "EXT CONTROL DATA
CABLE CONNECTION" between the D1100 and the
separate Analog only Preamplifier. Refer to page 8 for
Connection information.
When the Analog only Preamplifier is switched
On, it will automatically switch power On to the
D1100. The D1100 Front Panel Left and Right Output
Level Meters, Information Display and the STAND-
BY/ON Push-button are active. The remainder of the
Front Panel Controls, Push-buttons and Remote Con-
trol IR Sensor are all deactivated. Refer to figure 60.
The Analog only Preamplifier selects the desired
D1100 Input Source Component and passes on any
Remote Control Commands to the selected Source
Component. At any time, power to the D1100 can be
switched Off using the Front Panel STANDBY/ON
Push-button. If power is switched Off to the connected
Analog only Preamplifier, Power to the D1100 will
also switch Off. If D1100 Power is switched On using
the Front Panel STANDBY/ON Push-button or the Re-
mote Control (Power On) Push-button, the D1100
will return to the Digital Preamplifier Operation
Mode. The following images are some examples of the
Front Panel Information Display Indications during
the time the D1100 is operating in the DAC Mode. For
additional Information refer to "Control Panel Set-
tings" and "USB Music Playback" on page 24.
