Use with 110 ohm screened, twisted pair cable designed for digital audio or RF. Unscreened cables must not be used as they may pick up interference from other appliances. SPDIF Digital Outputs The SPDIF outputs (RCA or BNC) carry identical digital signals, sampled at 44. 1kS/s. Some types of audio cable are not suitable and may cause crackling noises or other malfunctions. AES/EBU digital output on XLR male connector SPDIF digital inputs on RCA & BNC connectors SPDIF optical output on TOSLINK connector SDIF interface on 2 BNC connectors Wordclock digital Output Wordclock digital Input Power Link connector IEEE 1394 interface on two 6-way connectors Software Upgrade Connector, 9-way `D' type Power switch Mains fuse holder IEC Power inlet IMPORTANT! If the Copy Prohibit flag in the source data on the disc is set, you will not be able to record the data from the SPDIF outputs.

Use the Toslink output with Toslink fibre optic cables designed for digital audio use. SDIF Interface This consists of two data outputs, CH1 & CH2 and the Wordclock Out, all on BNC sockets. Connect up the three BNC sockets with 75 co-axial cables designed for digital audio or RF use. coupled cables are not suitable. IMPORTANT! Please ensure the 3 cables are correctly connected to the DAC (or other destination equipment), otherwise the interface may malfunction or the channels may be swapped. When playing a disc, Wordclock Out carries a 44. 1kHz Wordclock. Wordclock Digital Input Wordclock In accepts a 44. 1kHz Wordclock. It allows La Scala and the rest of your system to be synchronised to a master clock. This arrangement helps reduce jitter, which can degrade the audio output. When a 44. 1kHz Wordclock is connected, La Scala will automatically slave to it. The WClk indicator will flash while locking and stay on while La Scala is locked. 1394 Interface All units feature an IEEE 1394 multi-channel interface, available on two 6-way 1394 connectors. If there are more than eight 1394 sources in the chain, La Scala can be made inactive using the Transmit menu item, see page 20. In this release, the unit generates DSD data at 2. 822MS/s from either 1394 connector. For correct operation, the DAC must be locked to the 44. 1kHz signal on La Scala`s Wordclock Out connector (or the system must be locked to a master clock running at 44. 1kHz). We recommend using the 1. 8 metre long, 6way IEEE 1394 cable assembly and the BNC cable assembly provided.
