Useful Tips At Peachtree Audio we think products should be easy to use. We don’t require any custom USB drivers or software programs to listen to music from your computer. The DAC•iT’s USB digital input accepts music files from your computer’s hard drive and plays them back with superb fidelity. USB Connections PC 1) Connect the USB terminal on the DAC•iT to a USB connection on your computer. 2) Your computer will “see” the USB Audio DAC inside the DAC•iT.
2) Avoid plugging and unplugging the USB input multiple times in a short time span. It usually is not a problem but increases the chance of a voltage spike to the USB input. Other Useful Tips 1) For critical listening to music from your computer, avoid keeping multiple programs open. It can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts. We’ll post articles and other helpful tips on getting the best sound from your computer’s music files and your other digital music sources.
Troubleshooting The DAC•iT will not turn on Be sure the DAC•iT’s external power supply is connected to the rear panel DC input and that the power supply is plugged into a live AC outlet. The DAC•iT turns on but there is no sound Be sure your system is not muted and that the DAC•iT has been selected. Be sure your digital source is on and playing. Be sure the DACiT’s standby button is glowing blue and that your desired input is glowing blue. If the input button is blinking the DAC*iT is in “mute” mode.
