Analogue Outputs
The unit features independent Balanced Outputs (L) on XLR connectors and Unbalanced Outputs
(M) on RCA connectors. The Left channel outputs are in the top row and the Right channel outputs are
on the lower row.
Our Balanced Outputs are intended to be connected
to true balanced inputs only. They are electronically
balanced and floating, so they behave like an audio
transformer. This arrangement enhances the rejection
of hum and interference picked up by the cable when
used with a true balanced input.
Most other DACs use a much simpler circuit that does
not offer the same level of performance.
!
Some amplifier manufacturers provide unbalanced inputs on XLR connectors by leaving
pin 3 floating. This arrangement does not work correctly with a floating output stage,
resulting in extra noise, unstable signal levels and a “thin” sound. If you want to use the
Rossini Player with this type of input, link pin 3 to pin 1 in the cable at the amplifier end.
In such cases, we recommend that you use the Unbalanced Outputs instead.
AES Digital Inputs
The AES1 and AES2 (N) inputs can be used individually at sample rates up to 192kS/s, including
DoP.
If the Dual AES menu page is set to On or Auto, AES1+2 can be used together as a Dual AES pair at
88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or 384kS/s. The pair will also accept dCS-encrypted SACD data from
Vivaldi / Scarlatti / Paganini Transports and DoP data (DSD/64 or DSD/128 over PCM).
For Dual AES mode to work correctly, the source must actually generate Dual AES data,
not just the same single AES data on 2 connectors!
SPDIF Digital Inputs
The unit features 2 electrical SPDIF inputs, labelled SPDIF1 and SPDIF2 (O), which will accept
sample rates up to 192kS/s including DoP. TOS (O) is a Toslink optical receiver that is guaranteed at
up to 96kS/s but may be usable at up to 192kS/s. Pull out the dust cover before using the TOS input.
