QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. My CD player has both fiber optic and coaxial outputs. Which
one should I use?
A. Given a choice, we prefer the’AT&T optical link due to its ability
to completely isolate the grounds between the digital source
component and the Processor. This minimizes the possibility of
ground loops in the digital components. The AT&T format also
has the added benefit of substantially higher bandwidth than
coax or the standard fiber optic interface. If a coax cable must be
used, we suggest the AES/EBU balanced format. This intercon-
nection utilizes a + 5v digital format and has the additional
benefit of balanced termination.
Q. Will I damage my REFERENCE 64 if I leave the power ON all
the time?
A. No. The Class A discrete analog circuits perform more consis-
tently once they reach thermal equilibrium. This Processor has
been designed to be left on at all times. The REFERENCE 64
draws less than 50 watts out of the AC mains socket.
NOTE: For the protection of your Processor, we recommend
disconnecting the AC cord from the wall outlet before any
electrical storms or if you plan on being away from home for
prolonged periods of time.
Q. Do I have to switch the Sampling Frequency when I go between
my CD and DAT?
A. No. Your REFERENCE 64 automatically senses the input
frequency and does all necessary switching.
