Audio Note (UK) Digital to Analogue Converters Ever since its introduction, we at Audio Note have been highly critical of digital music reproduction. This dissatisfaction was the instigating force in our quest to make digital playback more dynamically realistic and less fatiguing.
DAC2.1x Signature Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) DAC2.1x Signature Digital to Analogue converter.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION Please take care when unpacking your DAC2.1x Signature. Choose a clean, clear location to unpack your unit. Be aware that the unit is surprisingly heavy considering its size; before attempting to unpack or lift the unit, check the weight and if necessary use more than one person so that it can be moved safely and easily. We recommend that you retain and carefully store all of the original packing materials, in case transportation / shipping is required at a later date.
CONNECTION Special Note – Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For best results use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies, for best results and performance, we recommend our own Audio Note (UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or alternatively please feel free to contact us directly. Inputs The DAC2.
