Firmware update – Periodically Ayre may offer
updates to the firmware of the DX-5 that will
offer additional features. While there are several
methods for updating the firmware, perhaps the
easiest is to use an internet connection.
AC Power
The DX-5 may be plugged directly into an
unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI
(radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into
the universal A/V engine, in some situations an AC
power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may
provide additional sonic benefits.
As virtually all computers use switch-mode power
supplies that introduce unwanted RFI on the AC
power line, it may be beneficial to use an AC power
line filter for the computer and its accessories (e.g.,
display monitor), many of which also utilize
switch-mode power supplies.
Break-In
Playing the unit for 100 to
500 hours will ensure full
break-in.
Due to the manufacturing processes used for the
printed circuit boards, wires, and capacitors, a
break-in period is necessary for the player to reach
its full performance potential.
