Thanks for choosing Musical Paradise MP-D1 digital to analog converter
(DAC). Before enjoying the fabulous sound produced by the MP-D1, please
spend a couple minutes to read this guide.

2. “USB” port connects to a computer running Mac OSX 10.6 or above,
Windows 7/8 and the latest Linux distributions.

3. SW1 switches between the PC and SPDIF section. If you use USB input,
SW1 should be switched to the PC side. If you use Coax or TOS optical
inputs, SW1 should be switched to the SPDIF side.

5. Analog outputs are connected to an amplifier inputs by a pair of RCA
cables.

you are moving to a new country, please make sure you select the
appropriate voltage first.

7. The fuse box is beside the voltage selector. If the led indicator on the
front panel does not light up, you need to check the fuse first.
