audio cable to connect the single-ended audio output of the DAC to the

single-ended audio input of the M-52T, please make sure the left and right channel

is connected correctly.

Attention:

Please make sure that the AC Voltage Selector has been set correctly for your local

power supply voltage

Please turn off al equipment when you connect the audio signal cables, this will avoided

pulse or high magnitude noise from headphone amplifier and causing damage to

associated equipment.

The vacuum tubes takes 15 seconds to warm up to desirable working condition, the DAC

will be muted during this period of time and there will not be any audio signal output

from the DAC.

3. Install Driver

If you plan to use CS-100DAC with a window-based computer, you need to install a USB

Audio Driver in your computer before you can use the DAC as an outboard USB sound
