Unpacking the DCAB-1

Your new Digitally Controlled Analog Brain is a substantial piece of electronics.
Please exercise caution when unpacking your DCAB-1 to ensure that you do not
strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight.

Caution!

Do not attempt to lift your DCAB-1 while bending or twisting from
the waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back.
Always stand as straight as possible and keep the DCAB-1 close to
your body.

After unpacking your DCAB-1, keep all packing materials for future transport.
In the event that you need to ship your DCAB-1, only the original, purpose-
designed shipping carton is acceptable. Any other method of shipping this prod-
uct runs a significant risk of damage to the DCAB-1—damage that would not be
covered by the warranty.

Carefully inspect your DCAB-1 for possible damage due to shipping. If you dis-
cover any, contact your Wisdom Audio dealer immediately.

Warm up/break-in period

Although your Wisdom Audio DCAB-1 delivers outstanding performance
straight out of the box, you should expect to hear it continue to improve as it
reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components “break
in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the first
25-50 hours, but that the DCAB-1 will continue to improve in sound quality for
about 300 hours, after which time it remains quite constant.

The only exception to this rule is if power is removed from the unit, allowing it
to cool down. In this case you should expect a brief warm-up period before the
DCAB-1’s sound quality is at its best. (Fortunately, you will never have to repeat
the full 300 hour break-in period.)
