The DAC-7 has two analogue signal outputs 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 outputs
(8).
Use of one of the analogue outputs with RCA 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. One of the two outputs and an RCA cable is required for connection
to an amplifier. Connect one pair of RCA connectors ("L" and "R") in the field "ANALOG OUTPUTS" (8) 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". If you want, you can use both outputs at the same time.

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 "ANALOG OUTPUTS" (8) with the left
and right connectors of the XLR amplifier input which is usually labelled "CD," "XLR IN," "BALANCED IN"
or "FRONT R/L".
