Audio outputs:
Balanced: Use screened, twisted pair cables fitted with 3pin XLR plugs (receptacle type plug for
the DAC-10 / DAC-10 DSD end).
When using the balanced connection, pin 1 is "ground", pin 2 is "hot" and pin 3 "cold". Make
sure this complies with your other audio equipment and consult with your dealer for any
necessary modifications.
RCA: analogue interconnects for single ended outputs.
RCA cables should ideally be no longer than 1.5m / 5 feet between the audio outputs of the
DAC-10 / DAC-10 DSD and the line level input of your preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
NB - We advise that balanced and unbalanced audio outputs are not being connected/used
simultaneously (possibility of ground loop on some systems).
Input selector switches
The VAD DAC-10 / DAC-10 DSD has two, three position toggle switches (1, 2) on the back panel:
• Switch 1 (SW1) will let you choose between the AES/COAX, BNC and Toslink inputs.
• Switch 2 (SW2) will let you to exclude the SPDIF and choose the USB Audio options.
In the `middle` position of SW2, SPDIF sources are connected (further selectable via SW1)
In the `down` position of SW2, the SPDIF inputs are OFF and the internal I
asynchronous USB Audio input is connected for PCM music file sources (example: wav. flac.
aiff.).
AES/COAX SW1 switch position will automatically choose an active signal source between the
AES/EBU and COAXIAL inputs.
DAC-10 SW2 `up` position is inactive
DAC-10 DSD only
The AES/EBU SPDIF input is replaced by a USB DSD input.
