MAINS INPUT
Input for digital source devices with co axial digital output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
Input for digital source devices with co axial digital BNC output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
Input for digital source devices with optical digital TOSLINK output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
Input for digital source devices with symmetrical XLR digital output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the AES/EBU norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
Socket for connecting a PC or MAC computer.
At this input the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals with sampling
rates of 44.1 to 192 kHz (USB 1 transfer max. 96 kHz).
If the DAC 8 is connected to a PC or MAC computer, and is required
to convert audio files with a sampling frequency of more than 96 KHz
(max. 192 kHz), then you must first install the appropriate driver on
the computer (see section entitled 'USB Driver installation'); the
DAC 8 must also be switched over to USB 2 (see section entitled
'System settings').
This interface can also be used for control of the DAC 8 – for example
in combination with a CRESTRON or AMX home automation system.
A description of the control interface and the control protocol can be
found in the download section of the website http://www.ta-
hifi.com.
The connecting lead required for this is available in the
accessory range.
The mains cable is plugged into this socket.
For correct connections refer to the sections 'Installation and wiring'
and 'Safety notes'.
