[. . . ] ALCHEMIST 8 PRODUCT EIGHT d a c I N S T RU C T I O N MANUAL POSITIONING The Product 8 DAC, for best results, should be mounted on a solid flat surface. The Product 8 DAC should also be placed in a position free from direct sunlight, dust, heat and any source of humidity. MAINS POWER CONNECTION The Product 8 DAC comes with an IEC mains lead fitted with the relevant plug type for the country of use. [. . . ] This means the Product 8 DAC is switched on and having the ability to upsample the signal input. The input which you have selected will be shown on the left bottom corner of the display (as indicated). And the received signal frequency through this input is shown on the other side. However, `NO SIG' will display if there is no signal thought the input you selected. UPSAMPLING 24BIT/192KHz 1 - RCA Input selected INITIALIZING PLEASE WAIT 96KHz Received Signal Frequency UPSAMPLING 24BIT/192KHz 1 - RCA NO SIG SOURCE CONNECTIONS As with all connections ensure that the equipment is switch off before you attempt to connect any cables. Also we recommended that, where possible, you use gold phono plugs on your interconnect leads as the phono sockets on the Product 8 DAC are gold plated. Gold to gold connections will ensure that a good electrical contact is maintained without the need for periodic cleaning. There are 5 different digital inputs available from the Product 8 DAC. Each of the digital inputs have different type of connections, RCA, BNC, Optical, Balanced and 8-Link. The 8-Link is solely to be used with the Product 8 range products, i. e. The Product 8 DAC provides two different types of analogue outputs, Balanced and RCA. For the connection, ensure the `Right' output is connected to the `Right' input, and the `Left' output is connected to the `Left' input of your amplifier.
