Accuphase dac 60

It seems for whatever reason Accuphase has implemented the DAC 60 card to operate with a low voltage output. I have to give them benefit of the doubt and assume it’s for a good reason. 

I don't know, but to me it sounds like something isn't working correctly.  One of the Accuphase dealers should comment if your experience is "normal" or if something is broken.  Someone must own your amp with the DAC card and hopefully will chime in.

I hope you sort all this out.  Are all the DAC 60 cards the same regardless of what countries markets they are built for?

When @lalitk said the slot chosen was the issue I thought “wow” what a simple fix (Resolution to the prob). Alas it wasn’t the culprit afterall. There’s still a possibility that something might be faulty. If indeed it is just a case of a very low voltage output, you would think at least a few others would have voiced similar concerns. Audio is both fascinating and at times frustrating.

I agree, it made a lot of sense.

I see, makes sense now. It’s not a bad dac at all. Sound is better the longer it runs and actually more bass now. Just the volume difference between the two something I’m not used to. If I didn’t have the ps audio here to compare it to, I would probably think totally different. The actual clarity and quiet background is great. Actually when I crank the volume with the ps audio I can start to here a little distortion and have to back it off. With the dac 60, it’s crystal clear as loud and safe as far as I feel comfortable taking it.

First time with me personally ever noticing a change with burn in, which I was never a believer in. Now I am.
