Connections  
Additional USB information  
Front and back connections  
All connections must be made before the mains adaptor is plugged in,  
and before any amplifier connected is switched on. Always switch off  
the equipment attached to the V-DAC before connecting/disconnecting  
power, changing leads or inputs.  
On the host computer, a new mixer will be available, which is the default  
mixer whenever the DAC is plugged in. Use this mixer to select the  
source or adjust levels if required. CD, MP3, WAV files played on any  
software should now play through the DAC. This device has been  
designed to work with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP.  
Power input socket  
Digital optical or coaxial inputs  
Using good quality RCA leads (not supplied), connect the digital  
coaxial or optical output from a CD player or other digital audio source  
to the V-DAC SPDIF or COAXIAL sockets.  
The computer drivers for the USB input of the V-DAC should install  
automatically. To check correct installation follow these steps:  
Left (white) & right (red) RCA outputs  
Power LED (Blue)  
Lock LED (Green)  
Set the input select switch to “coaxial” if using either of these inputs.  
USB input  
PC users  
Check the computer has picked up the device and is currently using it  
by clicking: (most Windows versions)  
A good quality USB A to B cable is required to connect the unit to the  
computer.  
Plug the B (square) end into the socket in the back of the V-DAC  
Plug the A (rectangle) end into a free USB socket on your computer.  
Set the input select switch to “USB”.  
Once the unit is plugged in and powered, the computer should detect  
the new hardware and install a generic driver automatically (No setup or  
driver disk required). The V-DAC is then ready to play V-DAC, CD or  
any other form of music file recognised by the computer.

Power  
Plug the DC connector lead from the power supply unit into the V-  
DAC’s power inlet socket, and plug the adaptor itself into a convenient  
wall mains outlet. The blue LED will light to confirm the unit is ready for  
use, and the green LED should also be lit indicating presence of digital  
signal.  
Check that “USB audio DAC” is selected under the OUTPUT tab.  
If the computer’s warning sounds/chimes are to played through the  
DAC, make sure it is selected under the SOUND EFFECTS tab too.  
Use  
This device is a high speed serial data processor, and by its nature,  
requires a very high volume of USB bandwidth. It will benefit greatly  
from being the only device connected on its USB ‘port’. Sharing the  
same port with other devices may cause unwanted artefacts such as  
dropouts or temporary loss of signal. This especially includes the use of  
the DAC on a USB hub/splitter alongside other USB components.

Turn the volume on amplifier to normal listening levels, sit back and  
enjoy the music.  
These products have been designed so that they may be left on  
indefinitely, but please note the mains adapter may become warm to the  
touch - this is normal.
