DacMagic 100
azur
1
Audio outputs
Single-ended conventional stereo outputs for connection to
the line-level Phono/RCA inputs of an amplifier.
2
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 or Dolby Digital 2.0). 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.
3
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.
4
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.

supplied power adaptor into the DacMagic 100.
This product has APD (Auto Power Down) enabled as
