[. . . ] This means the Product 8 DAC is switched on and having the ability to upsample the signal input. The input which you have selected will be shown on the left bottom corner of the display (as indicated). And the received signal frequency through this input is shown on the other side. However, `NO SIG' will display if there is no signal thought the input you selected.

Also we recommended that, where possible, you use gold phono plugs on your interconnect leads as the phono sockets on the Product 8 DAC are gold plated. Gold to gold connections will ensure that a good electrical contact is maintained without the need for periodic cleaning. There are 5 different digital inputs available from the Product 8 DAC. Each of the digital inputs have different type of connections, RCA, BNC, Optical, Balanced and 8-Link. Make sure the correct input socket is used for any external device. The 8-Link is solely to be used with the Product 8 range products, i. e. The Product 8 DAC provides two different types of analogue outputs, Balanced and RCA. For the connection, ensure the `Right' output is connected to the `Right' input, and the `Left' output is connected to the `Left' input of your amplifier. Please note that we do not supply interconnect leds as most people like to choose their own. [. . . ] @0dB Audio Output (Balanced): ­ 2. 3V R. M.
