Page 7: Placement And Cabling
Placement and Cabling Placement VEGA should be placed on a solid and stable surface with good ventilation condition. Do not install this product near any heat sources such as radiators or other products (such as amplifiers) that produce heat. Site the product so that its location or position does not in- terfere with its proper ventilation. -
Page 8: Cabling
ALWAYS POWER OFF VEGA BEFORE CABLING! Analog Outputs The balanced and single-ended analog outputs of VEGA are individually buffered so as to be used simultaneously, however, it is still strongly recommended to disconnect unused ports to avoid any potential electromagnetic interference induced by cables. - Page 9 The power consumption of VEGA is less than 20W, so a heavy gauge power cord is not recommended as the weight of the power cord connector may damage the power cord socket on the back of the unit.

Page 10: Operation
Output Volume Power On/Off VEGA will power on when the power switch (11 on the rear of the unit) is toggled to ‘I’ position and will power off when the power switch is at ‘O’ position. As soon as VEGA is powered on, it will go to standby or sleep mode based on different settings. - Page 11 Start Work/Resume After power on, VEGA will be in standby or sleep (default) mode depending on your setting. To start or resume the unit, just press POWER (01) button, VEGA will run self-test and start. This operation is only available at main screen and is disabled in menu.
- Page 12 EXIT (03) or POWER (01). Any previous operation will not be saved except for balance setting (see page 17) after an exit operation is applied. If no operation is applied for 15 seconds, VEGA will quit to main screen automatically.

Page 13: Operation By Rotary Switch
Operation by Rotary Switch VEGA uses also a Rotary Switch (7) to make all operations if you don't want to use the remote control. The rotary switch can be rotated in clockwise or anti-clockwise order at 20 steps for a full cycle and be pushed for confirmation. - Page 14 (32 or 64bit) and a spare USB 2.0 / 3.0 port is required. Connect your VEGA to the mains supply with a power cord; connect VEGA to PC with a USB cable; start VEGA and switch to USB input channel.
- Page 15 'Browse…' if required, or use the default (rec- ommended); click ‘Install’. Installation will start. Since VEGA’s drivers have not been submitted for Windows Logo testing, warnings may show up during installation. Select 'Install this driver software anyway' when this notice appears.
- Page 16 When you see this notice, the driver installation is finished, press 'Next' to continue. You will see the Windows pop-up notice after VEGA has been in- stalled successfully. Click ‘Finish’ to close the setup program. The device should now be visible in Windows and any applications as both ASIO and WDM audio device.

CLOCK AUTO (default) VEGA will use the best possible internal clock precision to lock on any inputs. This function provides perfect balance between sound quality and locking stability. COARSE VEGA will use higher input lock bandwidth, allowing itself to lock on most dig- ital sources even with aggressive jitter noise.
