Nagra –
CLASSIC DAC
Installation
Positioning
In order to avoid risks of fire and electric shock, the CLASSIC DAC should be used
exclusively indoors.
If possible, it is preferable not to place other HiFi elements on top of your
CLASSIC DAC and free access to the ventilation holes, located under the device
and on the top surface, must be maintained at all times to allow sufficient natural
cooling during operation.
The Nagra CLASSIC DAC must be placed on a stable horizontal surface. We
strongly recommend the use of the special anti-vibration support plates, HD
VFSL, Vibration Free Supports, developed by Nagra. These consist of two solid
aluminum isolated plates that use the same silicon base damping material as the
Nagra CD mechanics. These plates will eliminate any mechanical vibrations that
may interfere with the sonic excellence of your CLASSIC DAC.
