Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the music hall dac15.2. The dac15.2 is a solid-state
digital- to-analog converter (DAC) designed for the music lover.
We chose a
select group of technologically advanced components to create this sophisticated
digital-to-analog converter. The dac15.2 can accept any coax (s/pdif), USB, or
optical (toslink) digital input from one of music hall's compact disc players, a
CD/DVD transport, iPod transport, computer, media server, Sonos, Squeezebox,
DVD in stereo, and will output two channel stereo analog. When used with your
computer or in a top-end audio system, your music hall digital-to-analog converter
will provide years of listening enjoyment.
The dac15.2 features the latest Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) PCM
1796 24bit, 192kHz, advanced segment, stereo audio digital-to-analog converter.
This processor features 123dB dynamic range, an 8 x oversampling digital filter,
and just 0.0005% THD.
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information that will help you get optimum
performance from your system. Please contact your authorized music hall dealer
for answers to your questions. In addition, all of us at music hall welcome your
questions and comments.
Save the shipping carton and all enclosed packing
material for future use. Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the
original packing material may result in severe damage that is not covered by the
warranty. Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the
date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is required.
Placement
Use common sense when placing the dac15.2. Always place it on a firm, level
surface. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support the weight. Ensure that
there is adequate ventilation. Avoid placing the dac15.2 where it may be subject
to excessive heat, such as near a heat register. Do not place anything on top of it.
For best performance, avoid placing the dac15.2 where it may be subject to
vibration, such as near a speaker.
Audio Out
To avoid damage to the dac15.2, make sure it is
plugged into an AC outlet
while connecting up or disconnecting the audio outputs. The dac15.2 has one set
of fixed audio outputs on the back. Connect the
connectors to the
appropriate audio inputs on your integrated amplifier, preamplifier, or receiver.
