IT IS YOURS!
Thank you for selecting Lab12 handcrafted Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). Every component on it is
designed to provide smooth and untreated sound. Pure analogue sound with non oversampling
conversion by 8 matched parallel Phillips TDA1543 in a sophisticated configuration and smooth output
through a pair of Dual triode tubes I/V stage. All components are carefully chosen after hours of
listening and testing, while paying great attention to every detail affecting the outcome. Ultra solid
construction with glass blasting anodized finishing and retro analogue V/U meters.
Do not forget that your DAC is totally handcrafted with perfectly matched parts of the finest selections.
In order to reach the optimal performance your dac1 reference needs at least 200 hours of listening. In
this time all components go from “burn in” period to stable.
Before setting up your new dac1 reference, we encourage you to read this manual thoroughly to
properly acquaint yourself with its features. We love music and audio devices and we have built your
new device with emotion and personal treatment.
