Quick Start Guide

Audio Inputs

The DAC3 features two stereo RCA analog
inputs and five stereo digital inputs (2
coaxial, 2 optical, and 1 USB). The coaxial
and optical inputs accept professional (AES)
and consumer (S/PDIF) data formats at word
lengths up to 24-bits.
Tip:
We recommend using the coaxial or USB
inputs for sample rates above 96 kHz. Optical
interfaces are not always reliable at sample
rates above 96 kHz.

Remote Control

The remote control is designed to have a long
operating range. In most applications it is not
necessary to point the remote directly at the
DAC3.
The chart at the right summarizes the
functions of the IR remote control.
