DacMagic 100

azur

Audio outputs

Single-ended conventional stereo outputs for connection to

the line-level Phono/RCA inputs of an amplifier.

Digital inputs

Three digital inputs are fitted (2x S/P DIF and 1x TOSLINK)

which allow a wide range of digital sources to be connected.

S/P DIF co-axial – to obtain best results, use a high quality

75 ohm digital RCA interconnect cable (not one designed

for normal audio use).

TOSLINK optical – use a high quality TOSLINK fibre-optic

interconnect cable designed specifically for audio use.

Note: This unit only accepts two-channel LPCM digital audio

(e.g. Stereo PCM). You cannot connect a Dolby Digital 5.1

or a DTS signal as they will not be recognised. If you wish

to connect a DVD or similar device, please ensure that the

sound output of your player is set to two-channel PCM.

Ground/Lift switch

When Grounded the Dacmagic 100 is connected to the

earth connection of the PC directly. When Lifted the ground

connection is made via a network designed to break any

hum loops that may be caused by the source equipment.

We advise using the Grounded setting unless audible hum

is experienced.

USB in

A USB B type socket is fitted to the DacMagic 100 to enable

the playback of audio from a personal computer running

either Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X operating

systems. Some builds of Linux are also suitable.

Note: Always use a certified cable for USB Audio, preferably

one that displays an official mark. For USB Audio 2.0 the

cable should be the ‘Hi-Speed USB’ certified. USB cable

connections longer than 3m may result in inconsistent

audio performance.

DC 12V 2A power adaptor socket.

Once you have completed all connections, plug the

supplied power adaptor into the DacMagic 100.

This product has APD (Auto Power Down) enabled as

default. After inactivity of 60 minutes, the product will

automatically switch to Standby. See later section for

further details.

Important Note: Use the supplied power supply unit ONLY.
