Cautions on handling
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that
there are no problems with the connection cables.
• When leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes,
etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical
pickup may get dirty, preventing it from receiving the signals
properly.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the
inside of the unit and its surroundings, condensation may
form on parts inside the unit, causing the unit to fail to
operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the
power off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If
that occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit
when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
Next, disconnect the cables connected to other system units
before moving the unit.
Features
Equipped with a USB-DAC function to support

Toroidal transformer
This unit features a toroidal transformer that produces
less vibration and magnetic leakage flux compared to
conventional power transformers. The materials and
manufacturing process of the ring-shaped core are strictly
controlled to reduce vibration, while the short-ring attached
to the perimeter of the transformer reduce magnetic
leakage flux.
Large-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 4700 μF capacitor carefully selected for
its acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power
supply circuit.
Audiophile-grade film capacitors and electrolytic
capacitors
The unit’s features the same audiophile-grade film
capacitors and electrolytic capacitors specifically used in
top-range models.
Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and
highspeed HDAM®SA2-type output amplifier
with the differential input type HDAM®
Double-layered chassis
High-grade machined analog audio output
connectors
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs (MP3/WMA) and
USB memory devices (MP3/WMA/WAV/AAC)/
iPod®/iPhone®
Can be used as a D/A convertor
Digital audio signals input from an external device or
computer into this unit can be converted and output as
analog signals using this unit’s D/A converter.
