provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
(a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; (b) move this unit; (c) increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver; (d) connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

3. Line Input: Use a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) cable to connect this analog
input to the analog output of your audio source. This input will receive an
analog signal when the input selector is set to the “up” position.
4. Headphone Outputs: Connect standard 1/8” (3.5mm) or 1/4” (6.35mm)
stereo headphones to either or both of these analog outputs. Remember
to set the output selector to the “up” position.
5. Volume Dial: Use this dial to control the volume of all outputs.
6. Power Indicator: This light illuminates when Super DAC is powered on.
7. Analog Output Indicator: This light illuminates when Super DAC is
successfully sending an analog signal out of its left/right analog outputs.
8. Sampling Rate Indicators: One of these lights illuminates to indicate
which sampling rate Super DAC is currently using: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96,
176.4, or 192 kHz.
9. Power Input: Use a power adapter (12 VDC, 1 A, center-positive, sold
separately) to connect this input to your power source. If Super DAC’s
USB port is connected to a computer (powered on), the connection will
supply the necessary power; a power adapter is not required in this case.
10. USB Port: Use the included mini-USB cable to connect this port to a USB
port on your computer (powered on). The connection will supply the
necessary power to Super DAC. This port will receive a digital signal from
your computer when the input selector is set to the “down” position.
11. S/PDIF Output: Use a standard S/PDIF cable to connect this digital
output to the S/PDIF input of a receiver or playback device.
12. Coaxial Output: Use a standard coaxial cable to connect this digital
output to the coaxial input of a receiver or playback device.
13. Analog Outputs: Use a standard stereo RCA cable to connect these
analog outputs to the stereo RCA inputs of a playback device.
1. Output Selector: Set this switch to the “up” position to send the audio to
the headphone outputs. Set this switch to the “down” position to send the
audio to the S/PDIF, coaxial, and analog outputs.
2. Input Selector: Set this switch to the “up” position to select an analog input
source. Set this switch to the “down” position to select a digital input. source.

3. Entrada de línea: Utilice un cable estándar de 3,5 mm (1/8 pulg.) para conectar esta
entrada analógica a la salida analógica de su fuente de audio. Esta entrada recibe una
señal analógica cuando el selector de entrada está ajustado a la posición “hacia arriba”.
4. Salidas para auriculares: Conecte auriculares estéreo estándar de 3,5 mm (1/8 pulg.) o
de 6,35 mm (1/4 pulg.) a estas dos salidas analógicas o a una de ellas. Recuerde ajustar
el selector de salida a la posición “hacia arriba”.
5. Cuadrante de volumen: Utilice este cuadrante para controlar el volumen de todas las
salidas.
6. Indicador de encendido: Esta luz se enciende cuando el Super DAC está encendido.
7. Indicador de salida analógica: Esta luz se enciende cuando el Super DAC envía
exitosamente una señal de salida analógica a sus salidas analógicas
izquierda/derecha.
8. Indicadores de frecuencia de muestreo: Una de estas luces se enciende para indicar
qué frecuencia de muestreo está utilizando el Super DAC en ese momento: 44,1, 48,
88,2, 96, 176,4 o 192 kHz.
9. Entrada de corriente: Use un adaptador de corriente (12 VCC, 1 A, centro positivo, que
se vende por separado) para conectar esta entrada a su fuente de alimentación. Si el
puerto USB del Super DAC está conectado a un ordenador (encendido), la conexión
suministra la corriente necesaria y en este caso no se requiere un adaptador de corriente.
10. Puerto USB: Utilice el cable mini-USB incluido para conectar este puerto a un puerto
USB disponible en su ordenador (encendido). La conexión suministra al Super DAC la
corriente necesaria. Este puerto recibe una señal digital del ordenador cuando el
selector de entrada está ajustado a la posición “hacia abajo”.

entrada S/PDIF de un dispositivo receptor o de reproducción.
12. Salida coaxial: Utilice un cable coaxial estándar para conectar esta salida digital a la
entrada coaxial de un dispositivo receptor o de reproducción.
13. Salidas analógicas: Use un cable RCA estéreo estándar para conectar estas salidas
analó
icas a las entradas RCA de un dis
ositivo de re
roducción.
1. Selector de salida: Ajuste este interruptor en la posición “hacia arriba” para enviar
el audio a las salidas para auriculares. Ajuste este interruptor en la posición “hacia
abajo” para enviar el audio a las salidas S/PDIF, coaxial y analógica.
2. Selector de entrada: Ajuste este interruptor a la posición “hacia arriba” para
seleccionar una fuente de entrada analógica. Ajuste este interruptor a la posición
