PANEL DESCRIPTION

Front Panel

1. Data Valid LED: This LED indicates valid incoming digital data at the

currently selected digital input (TOSLINK optical, S/PDIF or

AES/EBU). This LED lights whenever the Super DAC recognizes and

is locked to that data.

2. Format Button: This pushbutton selects which digital input (TOSLINK

optical, S/PDIF or AES/EBU) is the input source to the D/A. Pressing

this button cycles through the three options.

Format LEDs: These LEDs indicate which digital input has been

selected by the Format button: TOSLINK optical, S/PDIF or AES/EBU.

Power Switch: When this button is pressed in (and the power adapter

is properly plugged in), power is applied to the unit. When the switch

is in the out position, power is switched off.
