DAC2.1x Signature 

Owner’s Information 

The DAC2.1x Signature is a Level  2 digital to analogue 
converter, developed for the best possible sonic 
performance rather than technical specifications. To this 
end, the DAC incorporates thermionic valve technology 
to produce the most accurate sound possible and has 
been brought to maturity through a development process 
we call comparison by contrast, which is currently 
unique to Audio Note. The article from which this 
technique is based, named ‘Audio Hell’, is available 
from Audio Note by request. 

Please read this manual carefully in order to obtain the 
best possible performance from your DAC. Audio Note 
wishes you many happy years of listening pleasure.
