Setup And Quick Start; User Interface - MSB Technology The Select DAC User Manual

Setup and Quick Start

The interface is quite simple with few user controls. Input source defaults on 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 powerbase. The powerbase automatically
detects and switches between 240V and 120V. This is not a switching supply that works
at any voltage, but a linear supply with automatic switching of the transformer leads.
The power supply is switched on and off with a button on the front or via the IR remote.
The LED in the front of the Power Base indicates red when OFF and white 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 A range of Output Modules are available. Connect the balanced or single-ended analog
outputs to any amplifier. The output level is controlled with the knob or remote.
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.

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.
