When power is applied to the unit and the switch located on the rear is in the on position, the DAC is
powered up and ready to be turned on. If you would like to manually disconnect the power from the unit, the
switch on the rear is where you would want to do so. To prevent power surges, we recommend using quality surge
suppressor equipment. Turning the switch off on the rear of the unit will also protect against surges and spikes
should some occur without proper protection.

CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord or put the power switch in the off position before making any
connections to your DAC to minimize the risk of possible amplifier, and loudspeaker damage. Power up your
DAC after all final connections have been made and checked.
The input and output connections you will find on the DAC-2 are made of nothing but the best. The
RCA (unbalanced) output, and Coax input jacks are made with high quality gold plated copper, and should be
properly connected with interconnects of the same value. The Neutrik XLR (balanced) connectors are the finest
balanced connector on the market, and are the best possible option for connecting your DAC to your
preamplifier. The Toshiba Toslink inputs offer optimum connection with SPDIF sources without the possibility
of creating any ground loops.
Using the new W4S power and interconnect cables would be a great way to ensure your system is closer to
what we call “our reference”. We are now offering superior cables at an affordable rate that anyone can afford.

Your new DAC will deliver outstanding performance right out of the box. However, you should plan on
improvements as it reaches its normal operating temperature and once all of the components have a chance to
“settle in”. Our experience has shown that the DAC has reached its’ potential after the initial 200 hours. One will
find that the initial 100hours, the unit will start to shed the initial slight “brightness” and somewhat harsh
transitions (as some will say). During the second 100 hours, your DAC will start to become more fluid, and
smoother overall. Additional time is where the lesser of a change happens, and you will come to enjoy your new
product for years to come. After the initial break in period, your unit will be ready to perform when powered on.
