Ground Jumper - IN - Basic Operation

The Basic Operation does not provide additional isolation. For basic 

operation be sure the jumper is in place between the Chassis Ground 

and Amplifier Ground. This is the shipping configuration. 

NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT THE JUMPER OR A GROUND WIRE 

ATTACHED

.

Ground Jumper - OUT - Enhanced Operation

The Enhanced Operation provides isolation for both the DAC and the 

Headphone Amplifier.

For use with 2-channel system:

This setup is for a system that includes headphone and loudspeaker 

playback. 

-Disconnect the DAC powerbase and headphone amplifier grounding 

bridges. 

-Attach a ground wire between the ‘Amp Ground’ lugs on the powerbase 

and headphone amplifier. 

-Attach a ground wire between one of the ‘Amp Ground’ lugs and 

only  one  loudspeaker  amplifier  chassis  ground.  This  connection  is 

dependent on the amplifier so you will have to look for the best place 

to attach the wire to chassis ground.
