Use commercially-available cables for connections.
XLR: balanced XLR cables
RCA: RCA audio cables
Connect this unit's R connector to the R connector of the ampli-
fier, and its L connector to the L connector of the amplifier.
o Set the analog output to ESLA, XLR2, XLR3, RCA or OFF
(page 25).
o When connecting this unit with a Grandioso F1, we recom-
mend connecting the XLR connectors to the Grandioso F1
ES-LINK Analog (ESL-A) connectors (page 9).
B
USB port
Use to input digital audio from a computer. Connect it to a com-
puter's USB port.
Use a commercially available USB cable for connection.
o Before connecting, read "Connecting with a computer and
playing back audio files" on pages 22 and page 23.
C
Digital audio output (DIGITAL OUT) connectors
These output digital audio signals from CDs played on this unit
and signals input through this unit's digital audio input (DIGITAL
IN) connectors.
Connect the digital audio output (DIGITAL OUT) connectors on
this unit to the digital audio input connectors of other digital
devices, such as a DA converter, AV amplifier or recorder.
Use commercially-available cables for connections.
XLR: XLR digital cable
RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable
o These connectors cannot output Super Audio CD digital
audio.
o Digital output can be set to OFF, XLR or RCA (page 25).
D
Digital audio input (DIGITAL IN) connectors
Use to input digital audio signals. They can be connected to the
digital output connectors of appropriate audio devices.
They can receive up to 24-bit signals with sampling frequencies
of 32 kHz – 192 kHz.
Use commercially available cables for connections.
COAXIAL: RCA coaxial digital cable
OPTICAL: optical digital cable (TOS)
E
AC power inlet (~IN)
Connect the included power cord to this socket.

The audio quality might be improved by connecting this ground-
ing terminal to an amplifier or other device that is connected to
this unit.
o This is not an electrical safety ground.
G
CLOCK IN connector
Use to input clock synchronization signals.
When using a master clock generator, connect its clock output
connector to this unit's CLOCK IN connector.
Use a commercially available BNC coaxial cable for
connection.
