Unwrap and plug in the rectifier tube.
Connect your DAC to the IHA-1.

Operation

Plug in the Headphones/Amp/Active Speakers you plan to use.
Select your output using the switch on the back:
- Switch in the "up" position will output to the pre-amp RCA outputs for a separate amplifier or active speakers.
