A
Digital audio input connectors
Use these to input digital audio.
Connect these to the digital output connectors of digital devices
(including the P1, P-01, P-02, P-03 and P-05).
ES-LINK: HDMI cable
o Since ES-LINK is a format that is unique to ESOTERIC, do not
connect the HDMI cable used for it to ordinary HDMI connec-
tors on equipment made by other companies. They are not
compatible.
Use commercially-available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: XLR digital cable
RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable
Optical: optical digital cable
o We recommend using ES-LINK when connecting to a P1.
o The XLR connector supports Dual AES. If the digital source
device that you are using supports Dual AES, use two cables
to connect the left channel unit XLR connector to the left
digital output on the audio source device and the right chan-
nel unit XLR connector to the right digital output on the
audio source device.
B
Grounding terminal (SIGNAL GND)
Connecting this grounding terminal to the grounding termi-
nal of another D/A converter, amplifier or other device might
improve the audio quality.
o This is not an electrical safety ground.
C
CLOCK SYNC 10MHz IN, IN, OUT connectors
Use these to input and output clock synchronization signals.
When using a clock generator, connect its clock output connec-
tor to this unit's CLOCK SYNC IN connector.
When inputting a 10 MHz oscillator signal, connect the output
of the oscillator to this unit's CLOCK SYNC 10MHz IN connector.
Use the clock settings to select the active CLOCK SYNC input
(page 14).
Connect the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector to a clock input con-
nector on a digital audio source device.
Use commercially-available BNC coaxial cables for these
connections
(CLOCK SYNC IN/OUT: 75 Ω, 10MHz IN: 50 Ω).
D
Left-right channel link connector (L-R)
When using two separate units for the left and right channels,
connect this connector with an HDMI cable.
The D1 set to Lch using the CH setting will send settings and
right channel audio data to the D1 set to Rch.
E
Power inlet
Connect the included AC power cord to this socket. After com-
pleting all other connections, plug the power plug into a power
outlet.
V Use only a genuine Esoteric power cord. Use of other power
cords could result in fire or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet if you will not
use the unit for a long time.
F
Analog audio output connectors (LINE OUT)
These output analog audio.
If the amplifier has XLR audio input connectors, use commer-
cially-available XLR audio cables to connect to them.
If the amplifier has RCA audio input connectors, use commer-
cially-available RCA audio cables to connect to them.
At Esoteric, we use Esoteric MEXCEL stressfree cables for
reference.
