SET UP OF NYQUIST D/A CONVERTER
The weight of Nyquist including the granite base is 24kg (54 lb). Therefore it is important to place
Nyquist on a surface of approx. 40 x 45cm (16” x 18”) that can comfortably support this weight.
The base of Nyquist must have full and unimpeded contact with the surface of the granite base,
which controls vibrations in the D/A Converter.
In the pursuit of resonance control, it is possible to use isolation devices from other manufactur-
ers between the granite base and the stand; however. DO NOT employ any such devices between
Nyquist and granite slab, as the two items are engineered and tuned as a single unit.
It is important to make sure that any isolation devices are specified to support the full weight of
Nyquist – approx. 24kg (54 lb) –. Another option could be the use of thin sheets (for example leather
or rubber) in patches or for the full surface between the granite base and the stand.
There should be 20cm of free space above Nyquist to allow a flawless “Line of sight” function of the
remote control. The IR sensor for the remote control is located internally, right beside the gain con-
trol under the top glass plate.
In case there is not enough free space above the DA Converter, it is possible to place a small upright
sheet (about the size of a business card) behind the sensor of the remote control to allow for reflec-
ting the IR impulse to the sensor.
The power supply should also be placed on a resonance free surface; for example, a small granite
base.
