Once your new DLIII DAC is unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount the DLIII DAC: on a rack shelf, or on a shelf near your preamplifi er
and or transport or CD player.
If your transport is located a long distance from the preamplifi er, it is best to run a long digital
interconnect and place the DLIII close to the preamp.
The DLIII can benefi t from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and Sorbothane
pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the DLIII you can use the supplied AC power cord to connect
it to the AC wall receptacle or you can use an aftermarket power cord and receptacle.
We strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio xStream Power™ AC cable and a PS Power Port™
AC receptacle to feed the DLIII power. While the supplied power cable is adequate for the task it is
not going to provide the best performance. Choosing any xStream Power cable will make a signifi cant
performance improvement over the stock power cable.
We recommend the use of power conditioning equipment, such as a PS Audio Power Plant, UPC-
200 or any of the Ultimate Outlet or Power Director series from PS. We do not recommend the use
of simple AC fi lter power conditioners not made by PS Audio as most of these will ”bleach” the sound
and rob the music or video soundtrack of life and dynamics. If you do not use PS Audio power
conditioning equipment, you would be advised to plug the DAC directly into the AC wall receptacle.
