Source Selection
Choosing an Input
DACmini is an extremely versatile DAC. It allows you to listen to a
variety of digital and analog sources. In order to switch from USB
digital input to coax, to optical, to line input - turn the small knob on
the front of the unit and the corresponding white LED will indicate the
selected input. Release and turn one more time to switch again. You
will hear a click with every switch. This is normal – the internal relays
are protecting the outputs during the switching transitions.
Powering Up and Down
In order to power down the device continue switching the source
selector until no LED is illuminated. DACmini goes into a low-power
state when LEDs are off. Turn the source selector again to turn the
power back on.
USB Input
Note: DACmini streams audio from the computer even if you have
switched away from the USB input. DACmini does not break the USB
connection when you select an input other than USB. This is done to
minimize configuration delays and prevents USB port confusion.
S/PDIF Input
On its S/PDIF input, DACmini will perform auto-selection of incoming
Sampling Rate up to 192kHz, to accommodate a wide variety of
sources. We have designed the internal circuitry so well, it should not
matter whether you use the Optical or Coaxial S/PDIF input – both are
well-buffered and are largely resilient to imperfect cable impedance
matching. JitterGuard™ takes care of the rest.
Analog Input

The analog input accommodates a variety of line-level input sources,
such as iPod, CD player, DVD player, etc.
