6. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not disassemble or attempt to repair the ESPRIT; take it to a qualified service technician for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when the ESPRIT is used.
That’s why Furutech introduced the well-reviewed GT40 USB DAC/Analog Recorder last year. The GT40 was the stripped-down sports racer of the group and the Esprit is a faster, more luxurious GT model. It’s a compact DAC/ ADC Preamplifier that can also record and playback from hard disk in both analog and with the Esprit, digital. It even offers a toggle switch to choose Recording Attenuation/dB : 0dB, 6 dB, or 12dB.

The Esprit USB 2.0 (Full Speed Compliant) transfer mode is limited to 12Mbps; therefore when Sound application playback and recording sample rates are both set at 24/96 during recording there is a possibility of some instability.
