Comet Computer DAC User Guide
Connecting to a Transport or Other Digital Source
Avoid allowing static shocks to be applied to the inputs or outputs. To prevent static shocks, touch
any grounded surface, such as the EXOGAL Comet chassis, before connecting or removing a cable.
It is unlikely that a static shock will damage the unit, but it may cause the EXOGAL Comet circuitry to
“lock-up” (see Troubleshooting: Lock-up – page 10).
Inputs and outputs can be safely connected to the EXOGAL Comet:
Before the unit is powered up
When the unit is in Full-Mute mode
When the unit is in Standby Mode
The EXOGAL Comet has five input sources:
Analog RCA jacks
AES/EBU with XLR type connector
Plastic optical TOSLINK
USB Type B Connector
Coaxial with BNC connector
To connect a source, install the proper cable between the output of that source and the matching input
of the EXOGAL Comet.
The EXOGAL Comet will automatically adjust to the sampling rate of any standard 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz on all digital inputs, 176.4kHz, 192kHz on AES/EBU, SPDIF and USB.
