Interface

The IEEE 1394 interface (T) will accept encrypted DSD data from the Scarlatti Transport, as well as
from other dCS transports and upsamplers that are loaded with current software. 1394 interfaces are
great for carrying lots of digital data - but are very poor at transmitting a stable clock, so a separate
Word Clock connection is required. The two 1394 ports are identical – they can be used as data inputs
or as a loop-through. Note that the 1394 bus must not be connected in a loop as this will prevent the
system initialising.
SUC Connector
The SUC connector (U) is an RS232 interface, primarily used to remotely control the unit during
automated testing. Please contact dCS for advice on using this interface with a household automation
system. Note that we recommend using infra-red remote control instead.
Mains inlet
Power is connected via a standard IEC320 connector (V), protected by a fuse (W) and isolated by a 2-
pole power switch (X).
