Digital Pass-Through Function
Coaxial connector D5 is factory configured as an input. This connector can be reconfigured as a
digital output by moving both P14 jumpers toward the faceplate. When re-configured as an
output, the raw data from any selected digital input is buffered passed out through D5.
The Digital Pass-Through is bit-transparent. No data is modified. MUTE, DIM, and VOLUME
control functions do not change the data in any way.
The Digital Pass-Through function can be used for the following purposes:
 USB to Coaxial Transfers
 Optical to Coaxial Transfers
 AES XLR to Coaxial Transfers
 Coaxial to Coaxial Buffering
 Slaving another DAC2
When the Digital Pass-Through function is enabled, D5 cannot be selected as an input. If D5 can
be selected, the Digital Pass-Through function is disabled. Figure 7 shows the factory default
position (Digital Pass-Through function disabled, D5 is an input).
