Powering Your DAC
When power is applied to the unit and the switch located on the rear is in the on position, the DAC
is powered up and ready to be turned on. If you would like to manually disconnect the power from the
unit, the switch on the rear is where you would want to do so. To prevent power surges, we
recommend using quality surge suppressor equipment. Turning the switch off on the rear of the unit
will also protect against surges and spikes should some occur without proper protection.
Getting Connected
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord or put the power switch in the off position before making
any connections to your DAC to minimize the risk of possible amplifier, and loudspeaker damage.
Power up your DAC after all final connections have been made and checked.
The input and output connections you will find on the DAC-1 LE are made of nothing but the best.
The RCA (unbalanced) output, and Coax input jacks are made with high quality gold plated copper, and
should be properly connected with interconnects of the same value. The Neutrik XLR (balanced)
connectors are the finest balanced connector on the market, and are the best possible option for
connecting your DAC to your preamplifier. The Toshiba Toslink inputs offer optimum connection with
SPDIF sources without the possibility of creating any ground loops.
Using the new W4S power and interconnect cables would be a great way to ensure your system is
closer to what we call “our reference”. We are now offering superior cables at an affordable rate that
anyone can afford. For more information, please visit the website, or send an email to

“Break-in”/ Warming Up Period
Your new DAC will deliver outstanding performance right out of the box. However, you should
plan on improvements as it reaches its normal operating temperature and once all of the components
have a chance to “settle in”. Our experience has shown that the DAC has reached its’ potential after the
initial 200 hours. One will find that the initial 100 hours, the unit will start to shed the initial slight
“brightness” and somewhat harsh transitions (as some will say). During the second 100 hours, your
