Connect the I2S output of the hiFace Evo to this input using a straight CAT-5 cable (not included). Please avoid using long cables in order to preserve the great jitter performance of this connection. 50cm or 1m cables are preferred. This input allows for up to 192kHz operation and up to 32 bits resolution.

Connect the analog outputs of the Evo DAC (Page 7, nos.11-12) to the preamplifier or integrated amplifier. DO NOT connect these output directly to a power amplifier: no volume control is available, so very high levels are obtained which could damage the loudspeakers.

Digital Audio connections and jitter Usual digital audio connections all suffer, to a certain extent, a problem called jitter. Jitter is an uncertainty in the timing of samples arrival to the DAC, due to the fact that the connections carry more than one signal on a single wire or fiber: data, sampling frequency and bit clock, all mixed in a way that the receiver can separate them.
