Frequently Asked Questions Should I use a Balanced or Unbalanced connection? If your amplifier has a true balanced input, we recommend you use the balanced analog output from your Wadia S7i Integrated CD Player / Decoding Computer. All things being equal, properly implemented balanced (also called differential) circuitry sounds better than unbalanced circuitry. The Wadia S7i Integrated CD Player / Decoding Computer is a true balanced design. It generates the inverted signal in the digital domain

S7iIntegratedCDPlayer/DecodingComputer Theory of Operation Using ClockLink with an External Processor ClockLink eliminates jitter added when the clock signal is recovered from the digital data stream. In a non-ClockLink system, jitter is added when the clock signal is embedded in the data stream and transmitted to the DAC. When the clock signal is recovered from the data stream (as shown below), and used to clock the DAC output, this jitter degrades the sonic performance. Data and Clock to DAC T
