LYNNWOOD, WA, US. A POWER INPUT CHANNEL 1 CHANNEL 2 AES/EBU THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS. RÉFÉREZ TOUTE RÉPARATION À UN TECHNICIEN QUALIFIÉ. Analog Outputs XLR-3 male and 1/4-inch TRS connectors. These parallel-wired connectors deliver balanced audio signals from a 102-ohms source. The output stage emulates a grounded center-tapped transformer. The maximum output level is +25 dBu For unbal anced loads, either float the unused output pin (usually pin 3 or ring), or if you have no other choice, ground it at the DA9624. Select the desired input via the front panel switch. This connector accepts digital audio signals using the AES-3 connector protocol (which includes older AES/EBU signals). This connector accepts digital audio signals using the S/PDIF connector protocol. This RCA-female connector accepts digital audio signals using the S/PDIF protocol. Use only Lucid PS-3 or Lucid PS-3E power supplies. Connect only to appropriate AC power source. Refer to power supply marking for correct AC source value. The choice of power supply determines the proper AC mains voltage required for operation. Note There are no fuses, user accessible or not.

For the most part, this applies to both units, but if it doesn't, we'll let you know. The obvious answer is: "More is better. " If you need more, consider: · The trouble zone for any converter is the last (lowest) one or two bits of resolution. At 24bit resolution, the amount of signal represented gets smaller, which means that if there is trouble in the lowest bits, this represents less of the overall signal. Remember that the output signal swing is fixed, so we're simply dividing the output signal into smaller and smaller pieces. Yes, in 24-bit converters, the output noise floor is also lower, and so we're actually getting two extra benefits for using a higher resolution converter.
