Setup And Quick Start; Front Panel User Interface - MSB Technology Premier User Manual

Setup and Quick Start

The interface is quite simple with few user controls. Input source defaults to auto switching. The display
will let you know if you have an active input. On power up, the volume is reset to the programmed
startup level. Shipping default is 70. Turn the volume knob up until you hear music.
Power The DAC comes with a high performance Power Supply. The power supply can be switched
between 240V and 120V. This is not a switching supply that works at any voltage. The
power supply is switched on and off with a button on the back. The LED in the back of the
power supply indicates green when ON. Always allow three to five hours for the DAC to
warm up and reach optimal operating temperature.
Inputs The DAC comes with the digital input modules of your choice. Connect any digital input
to any active digital audio source. The frequency and bit depth of the incoming signal will
be displayed on the front panel.
Outputs Connect the balanced or single-ended analog outputs to any amplifier. The output level
is controlled with the knob or remote.
When stacking the units, you will find enclosed black plastic square inserts. These inserts fit into the
square holes in the top of each chassis. This will allow you to stack the units without scratching the
chassis.
Burn-In
The feedback we receive leads us to recommend at least 100 hours of burn-in on this DAC. Customers
generally report improvement up to one month.

list of inputs. The right and left arrows switch inputs. If 'Auto' is selected,
the unit will automatically switch inputs based on priority (Input slot B is
higher than Input slot A) with the analog input being lowest priority. When
a source with a higher priority becomes active, the unit will automatically
switch to the new higher priority input. Toggling through the inputs
manually will defeat any auto switching. When in the setup menu the
arrows move right and left through the menu structure.
