Yes, you are correct.

guess in the moment one has a look at the connectors of a Toslink or a Coaxial cable, even complete clueless people immediately will recognize the meaning of these icons. They are more simplified and styled, but match the appearance of the actual connectors on the DAC’s rear.

Regarding the RCA line-outs: I know this is a commonly used placement, but isn’t it a little weird that the right connector is placed on the left side and the left connector on the right side? Anybody here feeling similar?

Werner.

I'd still copy the symbols from the front & put one of each below & between the relevant text on the back panel - you mustn't forget that some people really are very, very thick and others are very, very non technical.

First call for Stan - "Where are 3 and 4 on this model then?" :scratch:

very true! The connectors on the rear certainly need to be numbered or designated to match the front plate. We are talking about a fictional front plate and an actual photo of the DAC’s back.

There aren't any.

Should it maybe be called

1 (Coax)
2 (Coax)
3 (Toslink)
4 (Toslink)

The connectors should be correctly placed as seen from the FRONT. All my components obey that rule except my Whest phono preamp - most annoying.

This would then mean:

4 (Toslink) 3 (Toslink) 2 (Coaxial) 1 (Coaxial)
