    Loading New Firmware Loading custom Digital Filter Firmware will permanently change the operation of your DAC.

  • Page 10: Power Supplies

    Power Supplies The Analog DAC can be used with a range of power supplies. We produce a fully linear desktop power supply that ships with the DAC or an upgraded power base. Both are voltage switch-able for 120V and 240V. Each uses a 5 mm x 5 Amp Fuse.

  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    Using the Analog DAC to test your source The Analog DAC is unique in that gives you a precise test for bit perfect playback. If you are playing a CD, a copy of a CD or a ripped CD file on your computer the DAC should be receiving the file bit-perfect and it it is not, your sound quality will be compromised. This corruption could be accidental.
  • Page 12 Upgrades and Modifications Removal of the cover - The cover cannot be removed. The circuits are potted in the chassis. There are no serviceable parts inside. Installing or replacing the Input Modules - The modules are designed to be easily installed or replaced. Turn the DAC over and place on a soft surface like a towel.
  • Page 13 When installing a new module, remove the black cover the same way as you would remove a module. It is easy to remove when the two screws are removed. You will not need a removal tool. To install a new module, slide the new module into the track and push firmly into place.
