Connecting to a Preamplifier
Connecting to a Preamplifier
There are two different ways the 321 may be operated
in an audio system. The first way is as a Digital to
Analog Converter with Input Switching. The Audio
Output of the 321 is connected to an Analog Input on
the Preamplifier (Integrated Amplifier or Receiver).
Follow the instructions and diagram on this page.
The second way is as the Main Audio Preamplifier
connected directly to a Power Amplifier, follow in-
structions on the next page.
