Safety Considerations
• Read, follow and keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Protect device from liquids and spills.
• Clean only with a soft, dry cloth
• Do not block any ventilation openings.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves
or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord and all connecting cables from being walked on or
pinched, particularly at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the device.
• Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Unplug this device when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged, such as when a power-supply cord or plug is damaged, objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
1.0 About Daking Audio
Congratulations! You’ve purchased a Comp II, a very high-end piece of gear!
The Comp II uses discrete transistor Class A circuits, VCAs, THAT Corporation
differential amps and printed circuit board-mounted switches. Signal capacitors
are precision polypropylene or ultra low-leakage electrolytic types. Our boards
are assembled on a mil-spec assembly line. The chassis are stainless steel for
maximum RF and hum rejection and a long-lasting finish. Every unit is handfinished, tested, burned in, and tested again in a second facility.
Also, we just couldn’t stand to use plastic knobs, so we designed our own
anodized, engraved aluminum knobs that give a much more precise and quality
feel. We designed our gear to be gear you’ll own for life, not some passing
fancy you’ll leave in the dust once you figure out what the good stuff sounds
like. This IS the good stuff.
