AES/EBU:
Use a screened, twisted pair cable from the digital output of your CD transport or CD
player to the AES/EBU digital input of the DAC-‐10(AES/EBU socket is a receptacle type)
Coaxial:
Use a RCA plug terminated, coaxial interconnect of your choice for the COAXIAL digital
input
.
The cable for the COAXIAL input should be no longer than 1.5m (5 feet) for the best
result
USB:
Use USB 2.0 cable fitted with USB type B plug terminated for the DAC side. For best
results use a good quality USB 2.0 cable without any sleeve inductors.
NB -‐ DAC-‐10 USB interfaces are powered from our on-‐board, purpose designed, extremely low
noise linear power supply (not from your USB socket – which is used for data transfer only).
TOSlink:
Use preferably multi-‐strand glass fibre type optical audio cable.
NB -‐ 24bit/192kHz sample rate playback through TOSlink cannot be guaranteed.
BNC:
Use same type of preferred coaxial cable as used for the RCA Coaxial input, terminated
with the BNC plug.
