April Music Stello DA100 Signature - Manual (Page 6)

Rear Panel
DIGITAL INPUTS : 5 input ports are ready (AES / EBU, COAX, OPT, USB, I²S). Please
make sure that you have proper cables for each input.
COAX : Theoretically, all digital inputs have the same music quality.
But, we believe what we hear, and in the real world of hi-fidelity, COAX is typically
better than other connections. We recommend using a dedicated CD Transport to
enjoy super quality playback from your audio equipment.
AES / EBU : AES / EBU digital format interface is mainly used in high-end environ-
ments. It is the preferred balanced form of S/PDIF digital transmission.
I²S : This mini-DIN jack should connect to the I²S output on a similarly equipped CD
player or dedicated disc transport. I²S offers the advantage of separate conductors
and separate signals for bit clock, word clock, and audio data.
When I²S input is selected and DA100 Signature’s receiver receives I²S signal from the
digital source device (such as CDT100 CD transport’s transmitter), the signal is locked
and begins its operation.
Following is the pin assignment for DA100 Signature Mini DIN connector.
