Ground Knurl: Used to ground other pieces of electronic equipment. Please Note: If
there is a hum or static coming from the speakers with the unit on, there may be a
ground loop that is being caused by a floating ground amplifier hooked up with a true
grounded unit. To solve the issue, either put a two-prong adapter on the wall plug end
of your AC cord (cheater plug). The unit will now have a floating ground and your unit
will now be grounded through the interconnect cables to the amplifier. Another option is
to run a wire from the ground knurl of the CD player to the ground knurl of the amplifier.
However, this does not always work.

It is essential that the DAC Transport be connected to a wall AC power receptacle, or a
similar heavy-duty source. Avoid the use of extension cords. If they must be used on a
temporary basis, use 16-gauge or heavier cords. The power cord on your unit has a
standard three-prong grounding plug to provide maximum safety when it is connected to
a ground wall receptacle. If there is any question regarding the safety of grounding
procedures, be certain to seek competent help with the installation.

In the upper half of the IEC part is the fuse holder with a spare fuse. When replacing the
fuse, the AC cord must be removed from the unit. To remove the fuse holder, take a
small flathead screwdriver and gently pry out the holder as if it were tray that slides
straight out. When replacing the fuse, for 110 - 120 VAC (Household AC current) use a
1.0 amp slo blow fuse and for 200-240 VAC use a 0.5 amp slo blow fuse.
