7    Main Powercord Inlet – Check the preset voltage indicated below this slot, 

this can be either 220-240VAC or 100-120 VAC (50/60Hz).     

 

The 4 digital inputs, i.e., 3,4,5,6 are independent to each other, only one 

among them will be active and is controlled by the tact switches located in front 

panel. 

 

2.3 Powering up 

Before applying power to the

 

`~å~êó

 

DAC, ensure that the correct mains 

voltage is used.    This can be either 220-240VAC or 100-120 VAC (50/60Hz). 

The factory preset voltage is indicated on the rear panel. 

 

After applying mains voltage, a blue led will light up in one of the tact switch on 

the front panel.   

 

The filaments of vacuum tube located in the right side of the DAC will also slowly 

lighting up, it is visible through the transparent acrylic front panel.    A slightly 

click sound of relay can be heard in about 10-15 seconds after power on and it 

represents that the DAC is in stand-by mode.
