DEQX User Manual
2.4 DIGITAL INPUTS
All DEQX units have a full complement of digital inputs. Digital inputs are selectable
with the DEQX Remote and from within DEQX-Cal. On the HDP-5 and PreMATE+,
inputs can also be selected with the touchscreen display.

This is a standard digital audio optical connection that accepts standard sample
rates up to 96 kHz.
S/PDIF on BNC (DIG 2)
This is an S/PDIF digital input via a 75 Ω (75 ohm) BNC connector. Connecting a
source with S/PDIF output over BNC and a 75 Ω cable provides optimum digital
signal transmission. It accepts all standard sample rates up to 192 kHz.
S/PDIF on RCA (DIG 3)
This is an S/PDIF digital input via RCA connector. It accepts all standard sample
rates up to 192 kHz.
AES/EBU on XLR (DIG 4)
This is an AES/EBU digital input via XLR connector. It accepts all standard sample
rates up to 192 kHz.
USB Audio
This is an asynchronous USB Audio Class 2 input for connection to a computer or
high-end music server/streamer. It accepts PCM audio at all standard sample
rates up to 192 kHz. For Windows, a driver will need to be installed (see
Appendix B on page 161).
The HDP-5 and PreMATE+ also act as a networked streaming audio destination via the
Ethernet jack in the center of the rear panel. See Appendix C for details.
