ADigital audio input terminals

Connect any one of these terminals to the digital output terminal of a digital device (P-01, etc.) using a commercially available cable.

XLR: Use balanced XLR digital audio cable

COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable IEEE1394 / i.LINK (AUDIO):

Use S400 compatible IEEE1394 6pin cable

<The IEEE 1394 terminal, or i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal, is an interface that transmits data both ways between the D-01 and an external device. You don’t need to be concerned with distinguishing between inputs and outputs.

<The XLR terminal is equipped for Dual AES. If your digital equipment also is, make the connection between this unit’s XLR terminal and the corresponding terminal (i.e., the channel output you want to feed into this unit) on your digital equipment.

BAnalog audio output terminals [LINE OUT]

If your amplifier has an audio XLR input, use a commercially available balanced XLR cable for connection.

If your amplifier has no XLR input, use a commercially available RCA audio cable.

CWORD SYNC input/output terminal

This sends out and receives a sync signal (word).

Connect the WORD SYNC IN to your master clock generator such as the G-0/G-0s or the word clock output terminal on the D-01 for an another channel.

Connect the WORD SYNC OUT to the word sync input on your other digital equipment.

For connection, use a commercially available BNC coaxial digital cable (75Ω impedance).

DSIGNAL GND connection

Use a commercially available insulated stranded wire to connect the signal ground terminal on the unit to the amplifier signal ground.

<Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).

EPower cord receptacle

After all other connections have been made, insert the supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect the other end of the power cord into the AC power source. Ensure that your AC voltage corresponds to the voltage marked on the rear panel of the unit. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt.

<In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, or other hazard, only use the supplied power cord or a suitably approved OEM power cord.

<If you are not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

When the P-01 is connected

If the Super Audio CD/CD drive unit, Esoteric P-01, is connected to the D-01, the following setup will provide you with the best quality sound:

Setting of the P-01

OUTPUT button	“XLR DUAL” or “IEEE1394”
WORD button	“IN” (When the G-0s is connected, “Rb IN”)
UP CONVERT button “176.4/192”
Setting of the D-01
INPUT button	“XLR 1”, “XLR 2” or “IEEE1394”
WORD button	One of the D-01 that outputs word
	synchronization signals: “OUT”
	The others: “IN”
	When the G-0s is connected, set all the
	D-01 to “IN”.
	When the G-0s is connected, set all the
	D-01 to “Rb IN”.
W_OUT setting	“176.4”
CH_SEL setting	respective channels
Setting of the G-0/G-0s
Frequency change button (A, B or C)		176.4kHz
FREQUENCY MODE button		44.1kHz
