Analog Outputs

These single-ended (RCA) outputs provide line-level analog audio, via suitable RCA interconnect cables, to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier.

For more information on output specifications, please refer to Chapter 11.

Digital Input

The single-ended (BNC) input accepts a Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (SPDIF) digital audio signal from a source component (e.g. Perreaux SXCD CD player, Apple AirPort Express, Sony PlayStation).

The SPDIF standard dictates 75H transmission of the digital audio signal. Use a digital interconnect cable specifically designed with a characteristic impedance of 75H.

A BNC connector has been used in place of the “standard” RCA type, because design limitations mean RCA connectors can never achieve a characteristic impedance of 75H. Refer to Chapter 6 ‘Special Design Features’ for more information on why a BNC connector is used.

If you already have a suitable high-quality digital interconnect equipped with RCA connectors, please use the supplied adaptor to convert the BNC output to RCA.

For more information on input specifications, please refer to Chapter 11.
