  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    Using the Analog DAC to test your source The Analog DAC is unique in that gives you a precise test for bit perfect playback. If you are playing a CD, a copy of a CD or a ripped CD file on your computer the DAC should be receiving the file bit-perfect and it it is not, your sound quality will be compromised. This corruption could be accidental.

Installing or replacing the Input Modules - The modules are designed to be easily installed or replaced. Turn the DAC over and place on a soft surface like a towel.
  • Page 13 When installing a new module, remove the black cover the same way as you would remove a module. It is easy to remove when the two screws are removed. You will not need a removal tool. To install a new module, slide the new module into the track and push firmly into place.
