DIGITAL SOURCE TO D/A CONVERTER INTERLINK CONSID- ERATIONS

Care should be taken in selectihg the type of cable used to link the

digital source to your Processor, We suggest the AT&Twide-band width fiber optic cable be used. The AT&Tformat has a bandwidth

of approximately 50 MegaBit. This allows accurate transmission of the digital bit stream without data corruption and proves to be

sonically superior. If the AT&Tformat is not available, a high quality qual~ fiber optic (Toshiba format) link can work well.

Using a fiber optic interconnect reduces ground loop problems

often associated with quality audio systems.

If coaxial

cable

is

used,

it

should

be

non-capacitive

and have a

bandwidth

in

excess of

10MHz to

prevent

drop-out

errors.

For

best

results

with

coaxial

cable

we

recommend

the

AES/EBU

balanced

format.

The AES/EBU format

is

a + 5

volt

balanced

digital

transmission.

Because

of

the

high

voltage

balanced

for-

mat,

this

system,

allows

for

accurate

data

transmission

and has

great

sonic

advantages

over

standard

single-ended

coaxial

or

Tosh

fiber

optic

terminations.

The

AES/EBU coaxial

cable

must

have two conductors and a shield for balanced termination.

SPECIAL NOTE: When the Tosh/C 1 input is used, the Processor will default and acknowledge the Tosh input first if cables are

inserted in both the Tosh and Coax 1 inputs. When using the Coax 1 input you must remove the Tosh cable from the Processor or turn that unit off before Coax 1 can be used. If the Tosh input is not in use, the Coax 1 input will not be effected.
