Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to your preamplifier’s operating manual to verify that the pin as-
signments of its input connectors correspond to the DAP. If not, wire the
cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input
pin, or reverse the leads of both your speaker cables to “reverse the re-
versal” and restore correct polarity.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel balanced outputs of the DAP
to the corresponding inputs on your preamplifier (or power amplifier if
you are using the variable output mode of the DAP).
2
SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG OUTPUTS
These outputs provide single-ended analog audio (via cables equipped
with RCA-type connectors) to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or re-
ceiver equipped with single-ended inputs. Most components accept this
type of output.
If you engage the variable output mode of operation of the DAP, these
outputs may be routed directly to a power amplifier. This mode of op-
eration is less desirable sonically than using a high quality active pream-
plifier, but may be advantageous under some circumstances.
Caution!
If you elect to use the variable output mode of the DAP to
allow direct-connection to a power amplifier, be certain to
turn the volume down to a low level before playing any
music. Sending a line-level (maximum volume) signal to
your power amplifier may endanger your loudspeakers.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel single-ended outputs of the
DAP to the corresponding inputs on your preamplifier (or power ampli-
fier if you are using the variable output mode of the DAP).

DIGITAL OUTPUT
This output provides digital audio (via a 75
Ω
cable equipped with RCA-
type connectors) to the digital input of a DAT, CD-R, MD, DCC, or any
other component that accepts an S/PDIF electrical digital input. It auto-
matically sends a copy of the currently selected digital source’s
datastream to the connected device for recording or further digital pro-
cessing.
Connect the digital output of the DAP to the RCA input of your digital
recorder using a high quality 75
Ω
cable such as Madrigal MDC-2.
