Connecting BLU MKII to power 6.0

sure none of your other devices are switched on at this point.

Now that you have successfully completed the setup of your BLU MKII
you can immediately begin to experience its transformational quality
on your digital music collection. However, we advise that you register
your product with us. Registering helps us give you the best possible
support and protects your investment:
Product registration 10.0
chordelectronics.co.uk/register-product/
Display and basic operation 9.0
Powering up BLU MKII 7.0
With all devices correctly connected, the system is ready for playback.
Again, ensure any volume controls are set to the minimum before
switching on your source and pre-amplifier, then power amplifier. This
sequence should always be followed to protect connected devices.
Commence playback before slowly increasing the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
With BLU MKII you are able to choose which upsample rate is best
fitted for your system. On the back of BLU MKII are 2 switches, one is
the sample rate switch and the other the dither switch. In this section
we will talk about the sample rate switch on the left hand side of BLU
MKII. See the table below for switch positions.
For use with the DAVE we recommend using high upsampling to get
the best out of your experience. For third-party DACs, refer to their
manual to select the best rate suited.
Setting the upsampling qualities 5.0
POSITION - UP: Upsampling Low

To open the CD lid, locate the hinge at
