A
Digital audio output (DIGITAL OUT) connectors
Digital audio is output . Connect one type of these to the digital
input connectors of a D/A converter (such as a Grandioso D1X) .
ES-LINK: HDMI cable
o The ES-LINK format is unique to ESOTERIC and is not compat-
ible with the HDMI specification . Do not connect the ES-LINK
connector to an HDMI connector on a device made by
another company .
Use commercially-available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: XLR digital cable
RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable
o Use one type to connect the unit to the D/A converter(s) .
Change the output settings of the connectors according to
the connectors being used (page 25).
o We recommend using ES-LINK when connecting to
Grandioso D1X units .
o When connecting to ESOTERIC D/A converters (Grandioso D1X/
Grandioso D1/D-02X/D-05X/D-01/D-02/D-03/D-05/D-07/D-07X)
or D/A converters that support Dual AES, use two cables and
connect this unit' s XLR 1 (L) connector to the left D/A converter
connector and this unit' s XLR 2 (R) connector to the right D/A
converter connector (Dual AES connection) .
XLR connectors can be connected in the following two ways .
Single connection (AES/EBU)
This transmits both left and right audio signals through one
signal line .
Dual connection (Dual AES)
This transmits left and right audio signals through separate
signal lines .
B
SIGNAL GND grounding terminal
Connecting this grounding terminal to the grounding terminal
of a D/A converter, amplifier or other device might improve the
audio quality .
o This is not an electrical safety ground .
C
CLOCK 10MHz IN connector
Use to input 10MHz clock synchronization signals (page 14) .
When using a master clock generator, connect its clock output
connector to the CLOCK 10MHz IN connector on the main unit .
Then, set the clock (CLK>) setting to SYNC (page 26) .
Use a commercially available BNC coaxial cable for
connection.
o BNC coaxial cables with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance can be used .
D
SOFTWARE (maintenance) port
This is used for maintenance . Do not connect anything to this
port unless instructed to do so by our service department .
