Tips and Hints

DA53

 

has an integrated upsampler, a state of the art 24Bit/195kHz D/A-converter *) and a current 

injection analog stage with LEF output for the backside analog output connectors. Whenever a balanced 

XLR connection is available it is preferable to RCA. 

• 

Use high quality cable for connection. 

• 

Digital signals connected to TOSLINK, COAX or AES/EBU can be transmitted to a computer by USB 1.1, 

limited to 48 kHz input sampling frequency. 

    This function might be blocked by copy protection of your source, e.g. CD-Player!

• 

DA53 

offers different settings for digital filter, oversampling and dither to make your own choice. 

   

Recommended default

: Set “Digital Filter” (DF) to “SOFT”, “DITHER” to “ON”, and “ΔΣfs“ to“32fs“

To keep it clean use only a soft cloth and never use any solvents or abrasives. Dust and fingerprints 

may be removed with a soft cloth moistened only with a few drops of water.

 

*) 195 kHz is not a printing error! We chose this frequency for internal operation to avoid intermodulation 

with any incoming sample frequency.

Cautions Regarding Handling

Precautions for use

• 

Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of 

your local power supply. The internal power supply works from 100 up to 240 

Volt AC, 50 or 60 Hz.

Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it 

checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Sometimes in summer you have faults in your local power supply due to overloading. 

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when there is a thunderstorm. 

This sign is intended to alert the user to disconnect the power cord from 

the wall outlet in dangerous situations! 

Allways unplug the power cord from wall outlet by grasping the plug. 

Never pull the cord itself! 

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of 

time. 

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before connecting other units or opening the 

unit.

AC-Line

If there is any break or cut in the AC-line cord, unplug it from the wall outlet and 

replace it by a new one! 

Location

Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, 

or  in  a  place  subject  to  direct  sunlight,  excessive  dust,  mechanical  vibration  or 

shock. Leave some space around this unit for heat dissipation, especially near the 

heat sink on backside.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or 

when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the 

unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit 

to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

THIS SIGN PROHIBITS DISASSEMBLING!

DO NOT OPEN! NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE!

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel! 

Fuses

The fuses are inside of the unit and should be changed by qualified personnel only.

Caution

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by CEC Co.Ltd. 

for compliance will void the user’s warranty.
