DAC chips will guarantee a unique listening experience! The result of this process is an extremely high linearity, right down to -145 dB, which gives the JADE a realistic 24 bit dynamic range. The JADE is a step forwards as it omits a pre-amplifier. It is musical, honors the Non-oversampling principle and simultaneously incorporating the technological progress that has been made over the years while developing our products.
10. The Jade pre amplifier must be placed on a firm, level surface where it is not exposed to dripping or splashing.

RCA outputs: Standard interlinks can be used to connect the dac to your amplifier. The • "Jade" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output will be 2 Volts RMS . Your (pre)amplifier should handle this output levels.

XLR outputs: Standard XLR line cables should be used to connect the dac to your (pre) • amplifier. The "Jade" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output for the XLR output will be 4 Volts RMS. Your (pre)amplifier should handle this output levels.
“coax ” input will be selected followed by “Optical” and “USB”. The next step is back to “Standby” Note: When moving fast trough the Standby mode the Jade will not switched off. Only when waiting for a few seconds the Jade will go into standby mode when selected.

Remote control The remote control is made to control the available standby setting, digital inputs, volume and muting. Like the front panel the remote will toggle through the entire range of available digital sources. Replacing the batteries If one of the buttons is not activated there is no power consumption at all which leads to a very long battery life cycle.

By turning the housing upside down the printed circuit board will fall out and the component side will be visible now. Remark: In case that the pcb is stocked in the housing you can push one of the buttons to help this procedure. As shown above push the battery out of its holder by using the back side of a swab.
