The 651C has two DACs in dual differential (i.e. one per channel, in an internally balanced mode). These very high quality parts allow a range of filters to be selected. There is no ‘right’ choice and we encourage you to experiment with the filters and pick the one that is best to your ears.
Custom installation (C.I.) use Troubleshooting The 651C feature a Control Bus input/output that allow un-modulated remote control commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received electrically by the unit and looped to another unit if desired. These control commands are typically generated by custom installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR receiver systems. The Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange.
