INPUT SELECT  This switch selects the input source.  With the switch out the 
analog inputs are selected.  XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced connectors 
are provided on the rear panel.  When the INPUT SELECT switch is depressed 
the digital inputs are selected.  AES3, S/PDIF and optical inputs are provided 
on the rear panel.  A toggle switch on the rear panel selects between the AES 
and S/PDIF-optical inputs. 
SAMPLE RATE INDICATORS  The LED sample rate indicators display the 
digital input signal sample rate.  The sample rate is determined by a frequency 
comparator, not by the sample rate bits in the digital data.  This ensures that 
the proper DAC filter settings are used even if there are erroneous sample rate 
bits in the signal.  Sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz are directly 
indicated.  32kHz is indicated when the 44.1 and 96 LEDs are both illuminated. 
OUTPUT JACK  The two output jacks are wired in parallel so that two sets of 
headphones can be used simultaneously.  They are wired left channel to the 
tip, right channel to the ring and ground to the sleeve. 
POWER SWITCH  The power switch connects power from the AC input 
module to the preamplifier circuitry.  When depressed, the POWER SWITCH 
will illuminate.
