Service Manual

Re-assembly in the following order:

Main PCB > DAC PCB > Back Panel > Transformer cage > Front control PCB > Top chassis

cover >

Re-Installation of the back panel (service notes)

Install the back panel first and the transformer cage second.

Do NOT tighten the 4 x 2.5mm screws that hold down the DAC pcb.

Line up the back panel via the back panel Bluetooth button first. Then gently fasten the

screws but do not tighten.

The 2 x screws that attach the back panel to the bank of RCAs are longer so ensure the

correct screws are screwed back in.

The IEC screws are the 2 x large screws. Do not over-tighten.

Re-Installation of the front panel (service notes)

Re-connect the 1 x ribbon and 2 x MMCX copper cables (directly at front EL84 tubes).

When inserting the front control panel, it is fine to slightly bend the pins so that they can be

inserted.
