XLR connection is utilized due to their robust design and high performance. All internal wiring consists of twisted shielded wire.

Your Oracle CD Player is equipped with:

BNC, output of 0,5 Volts peak to peak @ 75 Ohms

RCA analog output

XLR balanced analog outputs

Impedance < 100 Ohms

Recommended impedance load 50 kOhms (Minimum 5 kOhms)

Maximum effective output level, 2,4 Volts

Digital to Analogue converter type, Delta Sigma

Resolution 24 Bits

You now have a choice of analog connections. You might even consider running both at the same time.

To utilize the analog RCA capabilities, connect your pair of RCA terminated interconnect cables from the rear of the player to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier (CD INPUT).

To utilize the analog balanced XLR connections, connect your pair of XLR terminated interconnect cables from the rear of the player to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier’s XLR inputs.

Connection to the Pre-Amplifier, CD input

Connect your pair of RCA terminated Analogue Interconnect cables from the rear of the player to your pre-amplifier Digital input (CD input).

Note: It is not necessary to use digital output unless connecting to a separate stand alone DAC.

Note: We strongly suggest the use of the best possible Analogue Interconnect

Simultaneous Connection of an External Digital to Analogue Converter

It is possible to simultaneously use the BNC (75 Ohms) Digital output to compare the players internal Digital/Analogue converter, with that of an external (stand alone) D/A converter.

Plug your digital/optical interconnect to the rear of the player and connect it to your stand alone D/A converter.

Connect the Analogue outputs to an “Auxiliary” input at the rear of your pre-amplifier.

Balance the volume between the two D/A converters through the external converter volume control…should this facility be available.

Switch from “CD” to “Auxiliary” so as to compare the two options.

Warning! Lower the volume of the pre-amplifier as there could be a major difference in gain, this could cause damage to your loudspeakers.
