Connections

• Coaxial Digital Input: Connect the coaxial output from any digital source, using a

coaxial digital cable. Push the “COAX1” or “COAX2” input button on the front of the

iDac to listen.

• Optical Digital Input (sometimes called Toslink): Connect the optical output from

any digital source, using an optical digital cable. Push the “OPT1” or “OPT2” input

button on the front of the iDac to listen.

• USB Digital Input: Connect the USB output from a computer (or other source com-

ponent which can output audio via USB) using a USB cable. Push the “USB” input

button on the front of the iDac to listen.

• Component Video Out: This allows a high-resolution pass-through of a video signal

from your iPod. Using a set of component video cables, connect to the component

video inputs of a television, A/V receiver or A/V preamp/processor. Video quality will

be dependent upon the quality of the video program stored on your iPod.

• S-Video Out: Using an S-Video cable, connect to the S-Video inputs of a television

or other component which has an S-Video connector. For the best video quality we

recommend using the Component Video Out connection when possible.

• Line Output: Connect the iDac’s left and right line out jacks to line-level (AUX)

inputs on your preamplier, integrated amplier or receiver. Select any connected

digital source from the front panel of the iDac or from the iDac remote control. Set your

listening level using your existing system’s volume control.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS FIXED-LEVEL LINE OUTPUT TO A PHONO

INPUT OR DIRECTLY TO THE INPUTS OF A POWER AMPLIFIER. YOU WILL

LIKELY DAMAGE YOUR PREAMPLIFIER, RECEIVER, POWER AMPLIFIER AND

SPEAKERS!
