Connections
Caution!
Please connect your interconnects first before connecting the mains power cable!
Power requirements: Check if the product is made conform the power requirements of your
•
area. On the back side the product is marked for the specific mains voltage.
Optical input: Use an optical (Toslink) cable to use the optical input. The optical input can be
•
used for sampling rates up to 96 kHz.
Coaxial input: A 75 Ohm coaxial cable should be used to connect the dac to other digital
•
equipment. To avoid ground loops both inputs has a galvanic isolation and can handle a
maximum sample rate of 192 kHz.
AES/EBU digital input: When using the AES /EBU digital input a special 110 Ohms XLR cable
•
should be used. The AES/EBU interface has a galvanic isolation and can handle a maximum
sampling rate of 192 kHz.
USB input: Use an USB cable to connect the dac to your computer. Only when using a
•
Windows operating system you should install special drivers. In case of Linux or MAC no
drivers are required. The USB input can handle sampling rates up to 384 kHz.
RCA outputs: Standard interlinks can be used to connect the dac to your amplifier. The
•
"Onyx" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output will be 2 Volts
RMS or 5.7 Volts peak to peak. Your (pre)amplifier should handle this output level.
XLR outputs: Standard XLR line cables should be used to connect the dac to your (pre)
•
amplifier. The "Onyx" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output
for the XLR output will be 4 Volts RMS or 11.4 Volts peak to peak. Your (pre)amplifier should
handle this output level.
Mains inlet: Use the supplied power cable to a grounded power outlet.
