AnotefromDanD’Agostino

Founder,CEO,andChiefDesignerofDanD’AgostinoMasterAudioSystems

ThankyouverymuchforpurchasingtheMomentumMLife.I’mespeciallyexcitedabout

thiscomponent,becauseitfulfillsadreamI’vehadforthelastdecade:tocombinethe

uncompromisedsoundqualityIdemandwiththeincredibleconvenienceandunlimited

listeningoptionsprovidedbynetworking,theInternetandsmartphones.

TheMLifeispureMomentum,rightdowntothecoreanalogpreampandpoweramp

circuits,whichareessentiallythesameastheonesintheMomentumintegrated

amplifier.Ithasthesamemusicality—andthesameeffortlesspower—thatallmy

amplifiersareknownfor.Withthisamp,youcantrulyachievethemaximum

performanceyourspeakersarecapableof,nomatterwhatspeakersyouuse.

IhavetoadmitI’vealwayslovedtheconveniencethatmassmarketwirelessaudio

productsoffer.Ihaven’tbeensatisfiedwiththeirsound,butIknewitwaspossibletodo

better.TheMLifeisproof.Forthefirsttime,Momentumqualityaudiocircuitryandbuild

qualityarecombinedwiththefeaturesfoundinthebestwirelessaudioproducts.

Thelisteningoptionsareendless.Youcanlistentofullquality,losslessaudiostreamed

throughAirPlayorfromUSBdrivesandsticks.YoucanstreamInternetservicessuch

asRhapsody,SiriusXMandTuneInRadio.Youcanevenstreamfromyourphoneor

tabletviaBluetooth.Andofcourse,youstillhavefiveanalogaudioinputs—feedinga

pureanalog,fullybalancedsignalpath—togetthebestsoundyou’veeverheardfrom

yourturntable,musicserver,orthefrontleftandrightchannelsofyourhometheater.

TheanalogcircuitsintheMLifeusethroughholeconstruction,inwhichthecontactlegs

ofthecomponentsgoallthewaythroughthecircuitboardandaresolderedfrom

underneath.Thistechniquewasthenormdecadesago,butitwasmostlyabandoned

whenlessexpensivesurfacemountconstructionwasinvented.

WeassembletheMLifebyhandinourArizonafactory,literallyabout20feetfrommy

desk.Theunityou’vepurchasedhasbeenfullytestedtoensureitworksperfectlyand

achievestheperformanceIdemand.IhopeyouenjoyusingtheMLifetofindgreatnew

music—andtoenjoyyouroldfavoritesmorethaneverbefore!

Sincerely,

D’AgostinoMLifemanual/page6

UnpackingtheMLifefromthePelicancase

Whiletheintegratedamplifierisstillinitscase,pleasemoveittoalocationnearthe

placewhereitwillbeinstalled.Removealljewelryincludingwatches,ringsandbelts

fromyourpersontoavoiddamagetotheexterioroftheintegratedamplifierduringthe

removalandinstallation.WerecommendthattwopeoplelifttheMLife.Becauseitis

machinedfromsolidaluminum,itismuchheavierthanitlooks.

ThefinishoftheMLifeisextremelydelicate.Toitspristinesurface,westronglysuggest

wearingthesuppliedwhiteliftinggloveswhenhandlingtoavoidabrasion,fingerprints

causedbyoilsfromskin,etc.SeeOperation:Maintenanceforinstructionsoncleaning.

Installationrequirements

Thisamplifier’sdensemetalchassismakesitmuchheavierthanmostotherintegrated

amps,somakesurethesurfacethatwillsupportthiscomponentcansafelyholdits

weight.

Adequateventilationmustbeprovidedfortheamplifier.Thereshouldbeatleast3

inchesofclearanceoneachsideand3inchesofclearanceatthetop.Thebottomvents

mustnotbeobstructedbythickcarpet,dust,etc.Werecommendthattheintegrated

ampbeinstalledinanopenequipmentracktoassureproperventilation.Theampmay

beinstalledinaclosedcabinetorinanequipmentcloset,butthecabinetorclosetmust

bedesignedwithsubstantialventilationattopandbottom;activeventilation(i.e.,

poweredfans)ispreferred.Donotplacetheintegratedampdirectlyonacarpetedfloor.

DonotplugtheMLifeoranyotherDanD’AgostinoMasterAudioSystemsproductintoa

powerstriporpowerconditioner.

D’AgostinoMLifemanual/page7

TheMLifeisdesignedwithspecialconefeetthatscrewintothebottomofthemain

chassisandmatchupwithindentationsonthetopofthepowersupply.Thebottomof

thepowersupplyhassoftfeetdesignedtoisolatethemainchassisassemblyfrom

vibration.(Thesefeetwillnotstainormarthesurfaceunderneaththem.)

Toattachtheconefeet,firstremovethevinylwrapthatcoverstheamplifierandprotect

thefinish.(Savethevinylwrapintheboxtouseagainifyoueverneedtoshipthe

amplifier.)Usetwopeopletoturntheintegratedamplifierchassisupsidedownand

placeitonasoftbutsecuresurface—afewtowelsdrapedoverasturdytable,for

example—andplacethevinylwrapatopthetowelsforextraprotection.Screwthefeet

allthewayintothethreadedholesonthebottomofthechassis.Nowplacethepower

supplyintheplacewhereyouwanttoinstalltheMLife.Usetwopeopletoturnthe

integratedampbackoveragain.Placeitcarefullyatopthepowersupplychassis,lining

upthepointsoftheconefeetwiththeindentationsonthetopofthepowersupply.

Ifyouneedtoreturntheamplifierforservice

IfyoushouldneedtosendtheMLifebacktousforservice,besuretousetheoriginal

boxandmaterialsforshipment.

Beforeyoushiptheamplifier,unplugitfromthewallandletitcooldownfor6hours.To

protectthefinishduringshipping,rewraptheamplifierinthevinylcoveringitcamein.

Makesuretheampiscompletelycoolandhasnotbeenpluggedinfor6hoursbefore

youdothis.Wrappingtheamplifierwhenitiswarmwillcausethevinyltoleechintothe

amplifier’ssurfaceandwillpermanentlydamagethefinish.

TypicalMLifeconfiguration

ThisdrawingshowsatypicalMLifeinstallation,usingthewirelessrouterincludedwith

theMLife.Anexistingwirelessroutermaybeusedinsteadofthesuppliedrouter.For

bestperformance,connectalldigitalfilesources(NASdrive,computer,etc.)tothe

samerouterthattheMLifeisconnectedto.Wiredconnectionsarepreferred,especially

ifyouarestreaminghighresolutionaudiofilesfromanetworkedsourcetotheMLife.

Specificrequirementsandsuggestionsforeachoftheaboveconnectionsarediscussed
