Preliminaries

The Menu / Setup Guide sheet details the menu structure and details the two most common set-ups.
For digital interfaces, use with cables designed for digital audio:
• for AES/EBU interfaces use 110Ω screened, twisted pair cables fitted with one male XLR
connector and one female XLR connector.
• for SDIF, Word Clock or SPDIF BNC interfaces, use 75Ω coax cables fitted with BNC plugs.
• for SPDIF RCA interfaces, use 75Ω coax cables fitted with RCA Phono plugs.
• for TOSLINK optical interfaces, use Toslink fibre-optic cables.
• for IEEE 1394 interfaces, use the IEEE 1394 cable provided with the unit.
For analogue outputs, use with screened cables of the correct type:
• for balanced outputs, use screened, twisted pair cables fitted with one male XLR connector and
one female XLR connector.
• for unbalanced outputs, use coax cables fitted with RCA Phono plugs.
Connect the power cable supplied to the power inlet on the DAC rear panel, plug the other end into a
convenient power outlet.
! Please do not use an excessively heavy or inflexible power cable as this may damage
the power inlet connector.
Press the Power button and wait about 30 seconds while the DAC configures itself. The display will
show in sequence: Scarlatti
