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.
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. Press the mute button on the remote to un-mute the
DAC*iT. Check to be sure your digital cable is properly connected.
Please check the batteries by removing the cover on the back of the
remote. It is
an
infrared remote so it needs a clear line of sight to the
sensor on the front panel of the DAC·iT.
First, try relaunching your music server program (iTunes,
WMP,
etc.).
If
your computer still doesn't recognize the USB DAC unplug the USB
cable from the computer and the DAC·iT, wait a few seconds, then
reconnect. These are computer hookups, and sometimes you'll lose
a signal just as with your printer or other USB device.
You
should
not have this problem often. We designed the DAC·iT to remain
locked on the USB signal at all times, but signal dropouts are still
possible.
This can require some trial and error diagnostics. If you have music
files available
on
a laptop computer connect
it
(while
on
battery power)
to the DAC·iT.
If
it
works properly,
with
no
noise, then the computer
in
your office is introducing a ground loop into the system. This is not
uncommon. However, the DAC•iT's digital inputs are transformer-
coupled to minimize this problem. If a problem persists, please feel
free to contact Peachtree Audio.
Sometimesthis
is
from static buildup but
it
should not occurconsistently
over a long period of time. Contact yourdealeror
Peachtree
Audio
if
this
persists.
You
must use a wide bandwidth 75 ohm digital interconnect in this
application.
If
you use a standard audio RCA cable the results will
not be nearly as good. This is not an unusual mistake as the two
interconnects look identical but sound different.
Your iPod offers custom equalizations for headphone use that aren't
necessary
with
the
DAC·iT
and
a
good
pair
of
speakers.
We
recommend
using
a''flaf'
response.
If
you
find
that
you
still
need
equalization,
then start
at "flat" and make your settings from that point.
