Because the DAC3.5VB runs cool, it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the DAC3.5VB. This may scratch or mar the chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your DAC3.5VB.
Single Ended RCA and Balanced XLR connectors are available. XLR jacks allow balanced hookup using the standard North American pin configuration:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Signal +
Pin 3 Signal -

The DAC3.5VB musical performance rests on the solid foundation of the Master Reference
The DAC3.5VB has been optimized to provide the highest level of performance for all of these critical functions. It provides digital preamplifier as well as D/A conversion and bridge from traditional CD or DVD player sources and from a USB LightLink input for computer music playback sources.
All digital input sources experience 2 jitter rejection stages, one analog PLL stage at the SPDIF input and a second 2Hz digital PLL stage that rolls off incoming jitter by more than 10X at 10Hz frequencies and greater than 10,000X by 100 Hz. Any incoming jitter at frequencies above 10Hz is reduced to levels that have no effect on measured or sonic performance. The combination of the VBS1, internal VB stage and the new jitter filtration provide an extremely well isolated environment for the DAC3.5VB Digital to Analog stage. The final conversion to analog is no longer subject to external noise and interference sources and the resulting purity and dynamic quality is uniquely musical and compelling. See page 9 for back panel.
