Owner`s manual

Avoid connecting the e22 DAC to receivers and any other sound processing equipment
that performs analogue to digital (ADC) conversion. Digitizing the analogue output signals
back to the digital domain for processing will undo some of the benefits that e22 brings to
you. Remember that your sound system is as good as the weakest link in the sound
processing chain.
Analogue Interconnect Recommendations
Over-engineered interconnects made from exotic materials are unnecessary. When selecting cables, the
following characteristics are important:
Reliable electrical contact
Low resistance
Robust mechanical design
Remember that cables act as filters. The shorter the cable, the more transparent your system will be.
Connecting the Power Adapter
To minimize ground noise and hum, it is recommended to connect the power cords of all components to
a single point - usually a single surge protector with multiple outlets. Connecting all components to a
single point, as close as it is practically possible minimizes the differences in ground potentials between
the components.
Using an Upgraded Power Supply
The e22 DAC comes with a 12V/1670mA power adapter. This power adapter has been
tested to comply with the DAC’s power supply and quality requirements and allows for
very high performance. A better unit may allow you to release the last bit of performance
from the e22 DAC. Please be advised that using a different power supply than the one
included in the package may void the warranty.
If you decide to use another power supply, the specifications marked on the back of the
e22 DAC must be observed.
