VINCENT CD-S7 DAC Manuel D'utilisation page 35

The CD-S7 DAC has two analogue signal outputs
and one digital output connection on the back of
the device. The signal from the integrated D/A
converter can be input to a traditional analogue
audio component (amplifier) via the analogue out-
puts (14). On the digital output (15) there is a digi-
tal output audio signal which can be processed by
external D/A converters or digital processors.
Use of the analogue RCA output
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
and amplified by the Hybrid stage is output. One stereo set of RCA cable is required for connection to an
amplifier. Connect the RCA connectors ("L" and "R") in the field "AUDIO OUTPUTS" (14) with the left and
right audio connectors of the amplifier input (standard line level input) which is usually labelled "CD,"
"LINE IN" or "FRONT R/L".

Use of the analogue output with XLR connectors
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
and amplified by the Hybrid stage is output symmetrically. Two XLR cables are required for connection to
an amplifier. Connect the XLR connectors "L" and "R" in the field "AUDIO OUTPUTS" (14) with the left
and right connectors of the XLR amplifier input which is usually labelled "CD," "XLR IN," "BALANCED IN"
or "FRONT R/L".

Only one of the three outputs needs to be connec-
ted to play CDs. Select the appropriate connection
between the CD player and your amplifier, pream-
plifier, receiver or converter. Bear in mind when
doing this that the special sound qualities of the
player's hybrid amplifier stage will only be exploi-
ted if one of the analogue outputs (14) is used to
transmit the music signal.
