Introduction 1.1

The DAVE is an

incredibly powerful

and versatile digital-to-

analogue convert preampliﬁer

and headphone ampliﬁer.

Before operation, we strongly

advise you read this User Manual

thoroughly.

We also recommend that you

store this User Manual, along with

your original receipt of purchase,

in a safe place should you require

assistance in the future.

DAVE | Manual

Protection against

liquids & heat

1.2

The DAVE is not

protected against liquids

of any kind. Never place

containers of liquid on DAVE.

Never allow DAVE to come

into contact with moisture or

liquids; doing so could result in

electrocution or damage to the

DAVE’s internal circuitry.

Be aware that liquids, including

water that has dried, can leave

minerals that can aect the

PCB and other components,

which could eventually lead to

oxidisation and short-circuiting.

If the DAVE comes into contact

with moisture or liquids,

immediately disconnect from

the mains power supply, and

connected equipment, and

contact Chord Electronics for

further advice.

The DAVE has internal

thermal protection

which will shut down

the unit in the event of excessive

temperatures being reached.

Never operate the DAVE near

sources of heat or naked ﬂames

as this will decrease the lifespan

of the internal components.

It is advised that you do not

operate the DAVE in an area

of direct sunlight or on top of

signiﬁcant heat- producing

devices.

Please be aware that it is entirely

normal for the DAVE to become

warm during use, particularly

within a stacked conﬁguration.

If you are concerned about the

temperatures, please switch

the device o using the front

panel or consider a dierent

placement.

There are no user-

serviceable components

within the DAVE or

its power supply. Dangerous

voltages/currents exist within

the DAVE and its power

supply, posing a severe risk of

electrocution and/or ﬁre.

Never attempt to

open, dismantle or

apply internal third-

party devices to it or insert

anything other than the listed

interconnects or headphone

adapters within this user manual.

If the DAVE develops a fault or

the casework becomes damaged,

immediately disconnect from

the mains power supply and

connected equipment, and

contact Chord Electronics for

further advice.

Dismantling & radio

frequency interference

1.3

With a thick, solid aluminium

chassis, the DAVE’s casework

largely protects the sensitive

internal circuitry from radio

frequency interference. However,

for optimal performance, it is

recommended that the following

points are observed:

1. Consider placing the DAVE

away from wireless

routers.

2. Separate the DAVE from

ampliﬁers using toroidal

transformers.

3. Operate mobile phones at

a distance to avoid

interference.

Although the DAVE

is largely shielded, it

can generate radio

frequency interference that

may have an eect on radio

and television reception. If this

occurs, please reconsider your

placement.

DAVE | Manual

Before connecting the DAVE

to any equipment, consult the

manufacturer’s user guide to

conﬁrm compatibility.

When connecting the DAVE to

any equipment, make sure that

all devices are o, including the

DAVE.

Once connected, switch all

equipment on starting with

the source and ending with the

ampliﬁcation.

Initially, operate the DAVE on its

lowest volume setting, gently

increasing to a comfortable

listening level.

Never operate the DAVE

at excessive sound levels;

permanent hearing damage and

loss can occur.

The DAVE does not have internal

batteries and, therefore, must

be permanently connected to a

source of power.

The 10A IEC mains lead simply

plugs into the DAVE.

If the power supply is

prematurely disconnected DAVE

may still remain active for up to

15 seconds, however, this may

cause damage to connected

equipment.

Never disconnect the

power cable during

operation. Only

disconnect when DAVE

is o. If the power cable

is disconnected during

operation there is a risk

of damage to connected

equipment.
