Mytek Manhattan Digital to Analog Converter – User's Manual
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the new Mytek Manhattan DAC Hea phone Preamplifier, the best
soun ing Mytek DAC to ate. Pristine sonics an beatiful contemporary in ustrial esign
allows the Manhattan to easily challenge $10,000+ pro ucts from other bran s. The
Manhattan has been esigne as a igital an analog playback preamplifier an au io
hub. It features a high fi elity, high current hea phone amplifier with single en e an
balance outputs esigne to rive most eman ing high en hea phones, analog
remotely controllable volume control, a choice of analog inputs for external sources such
as vinyl an options for internal phono preamplier an SACD DSD optical igital input.
The DAC is capable of converting high resolution PCM au io up to 384 kHz, an DSD
au io (up to 256xDSD on USB2 an FW) , through high-spee USB 2.0, FireWire,
AES/EBU, SPDIF, or TOSLINK. Driverless “plug an play” is provi e via USB 1.1 port (for
PCM au io up to 96 kHz).

4. Quick Start
4.1 Front Panel
1. On / Off Switch. Powers the unit on or off
2. "Goto Menu" button. Press this button to enter the main menu, or to come out of it
3. "Move in the menu" button. Pressing the knob oes the same.
4. Function 1 Button. This button is user assignable (via the main menu.)
5. Function 2 Button. A secon user programmable switch (also via the main menu.) Default is Mute.
6. Rotary Enco er Knob. This enco er is both a knob an a button. It's primary function is to control the
volume level of both the main outputs an hea phones. It also functions as MENU navigation for
configuring playback options. Pressing the knob engages the button function of the enco er.
7. Hea phone Output Section: High-Fi elity, high-current hea phone amplifier capable of riving the
most eman ing heaphones. Top an bottom 1/4 inch jacks are riven in epen ently. The top jack is
in phase, while the bottom jack is out of phase (absolute signal phase can be controlle on the front
panel). Single en e hea phones can be just plugge in, while balance hea phones require
2 x 1/4 " to 4 pin XLR a apter which can be or ere from Mytek.
8. LED Display. This is the main isplay. Volume in B's is shown on the left an the current sample
rate on the right. It's also use to isplay the menu selections.

Quick Start – Immediate Pla back:
AES/EBU, SPDIF and Toslink:
Connect the analog outputs to your powere speakers, power amplifier or
preamplifier. Alternatively use hea phones. Connect the igital source (CD player)
to the DAC. Power up the player, power amplifier an the Manhattan DAC. Upon
power up, the DAC will efault to its efault settings han picke by our team to
pro uces the optimal soun quality. The unit will also begin scanning active igital
inputs, “SCANNING” is isplaye until an active input is etecte . Upon etection of
active input the DAC will start accepting au io at this input. Display will show both
volume an receive signal sample rate an will begin playing soun which will be
visible on the isplay au io meter.
Computer with USB1.1:
Connect the analog outputs to your powere speakers, power amplifier or
preamplifier. Alternatively use hea phones. Connect the computer (au io source) to
the DAC USB1.1 port with USB cable. Power up the computer, power amplifier an
the Manhattan DAC. Upon power up, the DAC will efault to its efault settings
han picke by our team to pro uces the optimal soun quality. The unit will also
begin scanning active igital inputs, “SCANNING” is isplaye until an active input
is etecte . In Win ows System or Mac Preferences select “Manhattan DAC” as
igital au io output. Play au io in the computer software of your choice. Upon
etection of active USB1.1 input DAC will start accepting au io at this input. Display
will show both volume an receive signal sample rate an will begin playing soun
which will be visible on the isplay au io meter.
“Breaking-in” the DAC for best sound quality: This unit, similarly to other hi-fi
equipment will benefit from “breaking-in”, when the music is played for extended
period of time (even few days , before it achieves its ultimate sound quality. “Break-
in” typically reduces distortion caused by “too new” capacitors and other electronic
components and will sound smooth and “velvety” afterwards.

5. Manhattan DAC Driver and Firmware Installation
5.1 USB 1.1 SX and Windows installation
1. Connect the Analog Outputs to your powere speakers / amplifier. Balance
connections (XLR) are typically for professional au io equipment while unbalance
connections (RCA) are typically for consumer au io equipment.
2. Connect the unit to your computer using USB 1.1 (rear panel).
3. Turn on both the computer an the converter, then your speakers / amplifier.
4. DAC comes as efault set to USB1.1 input. Select Mytek as the efault playback
evice in your operating system's soun properties. The DAC shoul now play all
soun s generate by OS or software.
