NAIM DAC – English

1 DAC Introduction

The Naim DAC digital to analogue converter is a highly versatile product and we strongly

recommend that you read this manual. You should also read the Statutory And Generic

Information booklet packed with the product as it contains important mains power safety

warnings.

A number of power supply upgrade options are possible for the DAC. Contact your local

retailer or distributor for advice on power supply upgrade options.

All references to Naim preampliﬁers in the manual also cover the preampliﬁer section of

Naim integrated ampliﬁers.

Made for iPod 5th generation, iPod Touch, iPhone.

“Made for iPod” and “Made for iPhone” mean that an

electronic accessory has been designed to connect

speciﬁcally to iPod or iPhone respectively and has been

certiﬁed by the developer to meet Apple performance

standards. Apple is not responsible for the operation of

this device or its compliance with safety and regulatory

standards.

iPod and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in

the U.S. and other countries.

1.2 DAC Ba sics

The Naim DAC is a ten input digital to analogue converter

capable of handling stereo audio data of 8 bit to 32 bit

resolution and 32kHz to 768kHz sampling rate. Its stereo

analogue output is available via DIN or RCA phono

sockets.

Eight of the DAC digital inputs are accessed via optical or

coaxial S/PDIF inputs on the rear panel. These input sockets

are selected by pressing one of the front panel input

selection buttons.

Two further digital inputs are accessed via USB sockets;

one on the front panel and one on the rear panel. The

USB sockets can be used to connect USB memory sticks

carrying audio ﬁles or Apple iPod or iPhone models. The

USB sockets are selected automatically when a USB device

is connected.

When a USB device is connected, any appropriate audio

ﬁles it holds will be available for playback through the

DAC. The DAC front panel button indicator will dock

illuminate and the input selection buttons will operate as

previous next stop play, , and buttons. The DAC is returned

to S/PDIF input operation by disconnecting the USB device

or pressing the button. The last S/PDIF input used will dock

then be selected.

The DAC can be controlled either from its front panel

buttons or using a Naim remote handset in preampliﬁer

mode. An Apple Remote handset can also be used to

control playback and volume.

2.2 S/PD IF Inputs

The eight rear panel S/PDIF inputs are provided with

connection format and socket options. These are listed in

the following table:

Input Optical Socket Coaxial Socket

S/PDIF 1 TOSLINK BNC (75Ω)

S/PDIF 2 TOSLINK BNC (75Ω)

S/PDIF 3 TOSLINK RCA phono

S/PDIF 4 TOSLINK RCA phono

Only one connection format (optical or coaxial) for

each input may be used at any one time. However,

both may be connected simultaneously and the DAC

will automatically select the socket on which valid data

is present. If a data stream is present on both sockets,

selection can be switched between the two by pressing

the relevant input button.

Note: If valid data is present on both the coaxial and

optical sockets of the selected input, the stream that

appeared ﬁrst will be preferred.

2.3 USB Inputs

The front and rear panel USB sockets are for the

connection of either USB memory sticks or Apple iPod or

iPhone models. Connect iPod and iPhone models using

the standard Apple USB cable. When USB hardware is

connected the DAC will automatically switch to the

docked USB input.

Note: If both USB inputs are docked, the front panel input

will take priority.

The DAC is able to handle any audio ﬁle format that can

be played on the Apple device, however, a lossless format

will provide the best audio quality.

2.4 Analogue Outputs

The DAC is ﬁtted with both DIN and RCA phono analogue

output sockets. The DIN option will provide the best audio

performance. Set the rear panel switch Socket Selection

to the desired option. For best audio performance only

connect one audio output. If the DAC analogue output

is to be connected to a Naim preampliﬁer, use the Aux 1

input if available. See Section 3.1.

2.5 Remote Control Output and Inp ut

The DAC can send and receive remote control signals to

enable the following functions:

• Automatic preamplifier input switching.

• Use of an external IR sensor.

The DAC Remote Control In and Out sockets require a

mini-jack (3.5mm) plug. Naim preampliﬁer Remote Control

In sockets require either a mini-jack or RCA phono plug.

Your Naim retailer will be able to provide an appropriate

cable if necessary.

2 DAC Installation and Connections

The DAC should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose.

Do not stand it directly on top of another item of equipment. Ensure also that the audio

system volume is turned down before switching on. The DAC power switch is positioned on

its rear panel.

Connect the DAC to mains power using the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.

Connect audio inputs and outputs using high quality interconnect cables. Naim Hi-Line

cables will provide the best results.
