Tube ageing
Nagra selects the HD DAC X tubes according to exacting criteria. Their theoretical
minimum useful life is 5’000 hours. In actual fact, some tubes operate consistently for
more than 10’000 hours.
Thus, the useful life of the tubes is somewhat unpredictable. Rather than replacing the
tubes arbitrarily after 5’000 hours, we suggest that you identify the signs of ageing:
→ Distortion gently increases to an audible level
→ Presence of clicks (dry, brief noises, like dead wood snapping)
→ Presence of pops, brief noises in the low frequencies
→ Presence of hiss, higher background noise
→ Reduction of spaciousness, loss of naturalness
As soon as one of these signs appears, please contact your Nagra dealer to order an
HD DAC X replacement tube kit.
HD DAC X software update
The update is carried out with two MicroSD memory cards, one for the audio device
and one for the power supply. You will be advised of the availability of any updates by
your dealer who will install them.
Case cleaning
Clean the HD DAC X casing by using a soft, non-fluffy, slightly damp cloth. Do not use
any cleaning products that could have a corrosive effect.
