Accuphase dac 60

@duketbrd88

The DAC60 option board should be installed in slot #1. The slot #2 is for optional phono board. Please make the swap and let us know if you hear any difference. Also what is your source and how it is connected to DAC60.

Wow! I hope the resolution is this simple. That’d be terrific news.

Great help from everyone here but your dealer should know about any issues that may arise. Hope it works out well!

in the manual, it says either slot and the dealer said he usually puts it in slot #2, but i will double check.

right now I have a trusty 18 year old denon 1910 cd/ DVD player as my CD player with the coax and an optical cable from my Sony oled playing hi res music from YouTube music videos which actually sounds excellent and the reason I have been putting off streaming for the time being.

 I do want to pick up a audiolab 6000cdt transport this week for cd’s.

 I have been running this setup for years with the ps audio dac, the old Classé stuff and now the accuphase integrated and all of it sounds awesome and crystal clear.

so, those are my main sources for now. I know not ideal for everyone, but works for me. The only new variable added was the dac 60.

the dealer has been great to deal with and said I can return it. I hooked the ps audio back up this morning and the difference is amazing. That gain or volume difference feels like adding a separate amp. I’m still shocked, because this is not the outcome I expected at all.
