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.

No sound?
If you have your input source and speakers connected, and you can’t get music to play, check the following:
1. Verify that the power cord is plugged in and that the outlet is powered up.
2. Check the front panel and make sure that the display lights up.
3. If the display is on and the DAC is locked onto a signal, increase the volume to a significant level to
ensure the level is high enough for music playback.
4. If you can hear the slight turn on and off noise when the DAC is activated, but there still isn’t any
sound, make sure you are getting a signal to it.
5. Verify that the input is selecting the proper input for what you have connected, and is displaying a
sample rate.
6. If the input is in the proper position and still no sound, then try replacing the interconnects to verify the
connection between the DAC and source.
7. Verifiy that the interconnects are conducting by replacing them on a different set from a connection that
you know works.
8. Now that you have interconnects that you know work, try connecting the DAC to another source that
you know has worked in the past.
If you are still experiencing problems after checking all possibilities and using the resources provided please
contact your dealer or Wyred 4 Sound directly for further assistance.
Because the DAC-2 is really an 8ch DAC inside, make sure that all sources (where applicable, ie: DVD players,
cable/satellite boxes) are programmed in their setup menu to output 2ch PCM or stereo digital signals. In some
cases, the DAC will actually try to decode multichannel formats, but will be unsuccessful because the DAC’s
outputs are tied together internally. If the DAC is playing music, then there is nothing to worry about, but if you
get loud switching noises, or no sound at all, this is probably why.
