T+A DAC 8 - Digital Inputs and Control Interfaces; Digital Input Types

35
DIGITAL IN
S/P DIF 1 … 4
Input for digital source devices with co axial digital output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
BNC
Input for digital source devices with co axial digital BNC output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
OPT
Input for digital source devices with optical digital TOSLINK output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
AES / EBU
Input for digital source devices with symmetrical XLR digital output.
At these inputs the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals conforming to
the AES/EBU norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 192 kSps.
USB
Socket for connecting a PC or MAC computer.
At this input the DAC 8 accepts digital stereo signals with sampling
rates of 44.1 to 192 kHz (USB 1 transfer max. 96 kHz).

If the
DAC 8
is connected to a PC or MAC computer, and is required
to convert audio files with a sampling frequency of more than 96 KHz
(max. 192 kHz), then you must first install the appropriate driver on
the computer (see section entitled ‘USB Driver installation’); the
DAC 8 must also be switched over to USB 2 (see section entitled
‘System settings’).
CONTROL
CTRL
This interface can also be used for control of the
DAC
8
– for example
in combination with a CRESTRON or AMX home automation system.
A description of the control interface and the control protocol can be
found in the download section of the  website http://www.ta-
