These don't have RCA jacks for input, but includes a gold plated BNC to RCA converter jack. Has both RCA and AES/EBU outputs. Due to the purist passive I/V conversion, these have a low 1V output so they work best used with a preamp.I've been the second owner for eight years. I've put very few hours on it since I've collected several DACs. This sounds as good as any of them, all of which were more expensive. The Muse Model Two is a 20-bit D/A processor using two Burr-Brown PCM63-PK, multibit DACs; an 8x-oversampling digital filter unique jitter-suppression circuitry; and a class-A current source, shunt-regulated power supply. Both balanced and single-ended analog outputs and two BNC digital inputs are standard. AES/EBU and ST fiber optic inputs optional.Dimension: 17.5 W x 11.5 D x 3.5” H.Weight: approximately 18 lbs.
