Specifications

The CD2 digital outputs operate only at 16/44.1. Any processing of the digital data will be handled by your external DAC.
The 192kHz setting is used only when using the CD2 analog outputs.
IMPORTANT: If using the CD2 directly into a power amplifier, ensure that the Fixed/Variable Output button is in the
OUT (variable) position. Operation in Fixed Mode directly into the amplifier could cause extreme output levels,
clipping and damage to the loudspeakers, amplifiers or your ears!
• 12VDC power interconnect jack to interface with

Canto LNS1 or Bel Canto VBS1 power supplies.
Contact your local dealer if you wish to upgrade
