with sample rates up to 96kS/s. The data format is the same as the selected
input (i.e. AES3 or IEC60958), the electrical format is SPDIF. It may be
connected to a digital recorder or another DAC. Use with 75 ohm co-axial
cables designed for digital audio or RF use.
This output is intended for use with Single AES, RCA, BNC, Toslink or ST
inputs ONLY. If the selected input is in any other format, the
will carry either the left channel data or full scale noise.
If the selected input is SPDIF and the Copy Prohibit flag in the source data is
REC
set, the output will be the same and you will not be able to record the
data.

Connect up the three BNC sockets with 75Ω co-axial cables designed for digital

Please ensure the 3 cables are correctly connected to the source, otherwise
the interface may malfunction or the channels may be swapped.
