10-11. S/PDIF 1-2
These connections accommodate the most common
digital interconnect interface using RCA-connector
equipped cables and 75ohm load impedance. These
Inputs also accommodate PCM sample rates different
than the S/PDIF standard of 16 bit/44.1kHz.
12. BNC
This connection is essentially the same as S/PDIF 1-2 but
with an alternate cable connector, the BNC.
13. AES/EBU
This is a balanced digital connection, as found on some
digital sources requiring an XLR equipped digital
interconnect and 110ohm load impedance.
14. TOSLINK
This input allows connection to a source with Toslink (EIAJ)
optical transmission of the standard S/PDIF digital signal.
15-16. Digital Outputs
The digital outputs are monitoring loops that allow return
of the digital signal input to the source or to a secondary
component or system.
These signals are returned at the native sampling rate at
which they are received: Quantum resampling is not
applied. The internal CD transport is available from these
outputs at the standard sampling rate of 16 bit/44.1kHz.
15. S/PDIF
This connection accommodates the most common
digital interconnect interface using an RCA-connector
equipped cable and 75ohm load output impedance.
16. TOSLINK
This output allows connection to a receiver with Toslink
(EIAJ) optical transmission.
17-18. Analog Outputs
The preamplifier’s analog outputs are capable of
properly driving virtually all audio power amplifiers. Their
buffered outputs provide low output impedance and
high current capability to drive both high- and low-
impedance loads. All signals are managed by the
volume control circuit unless the Volume Control Bypass
feature is enabled – see the MENU – Optional User
Settings section. Balanced and unbalanced signal
outputs may be used individually or simultaneously.
17. Balanced Outputs
This connection type, requiring XLR-equipped analog
interconnects, is recommended when connecting to
power amplifiers with fully-differential circuits. It may also
be preferred in EMI/RFI prone environments or for
especially long cable runs.
18. Unbalanced Outputs
This connection type, requiring RCA-equipped analog
interconnects, is the most common cable and connector
Non-PCM signals are not accommodated: these
include DSD and other one-bit formats as well as
compressed formats such as MP-3 and Dolby
Digital.
