TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 4 5 6 7 TECHNOLOGY, UNPACKING & INSTALLATION CONNECTIONS OPERATION COMPUTER SETUP FOR USB INPUT SPECIFICATIONS TECHNOLOGY Extensive research into the fundamental properties of the data stream itself have shown beyond doubt that regardless of the theoretical and measurable advantages of the signal manipulation employed in all currently available digital products, such as higher over sampling, noise shaping, re-clocking or jitter reduction, the result is this: all these corrective measur
CONNECTIONS: Please ensure that the DAC0.1x and any source equipment is switched off before making any connections. NOTE: It is important that all connections are firm, secure and airtight; any oxidisation of the interconnects will result in loss of performance. Always use high quality interconnects; Audio Note interconnects are recommended, as they are manufactured to the same exacting standards as all of our products. Inputs: The DAC0.
OPERATION Press button on front panel for short time to select digital input, USB or COAX. Selected input will be indicated by red light. Using the DAC0.1x with dedicated CD transport: Once all the connections are complete, turn on the digital source. Next turn on the DAC0.1x by using the rocker switch located on the back panel above mains inlet socket. The red led on the front panel confirms that the unit is on. The DAC0.1x will improve over time and will start to sound increasingly well balanced.
Please note: This device is a high speed serial data processor, and by its nature, requires a very high volume of USB bandwidth. It will benefit greatly from being the only device connected on its USB ‘bus’. Sharing the same bus with other devices may cause unwanted artefacts such as dropouts or temporary loss of signal. This especially includes the use of the DAC0.
