Installation & Placement 

 

The

 should be placed on a solid flat surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat 

source as this could compromise the DAC’s performance and reliability. You should never place another 
component directly on top of this DAC. Take care of the finest luxury finish of front panel with a soft cloth.
