Schiit EITR Owner's Manual

to your DAC with a high-quality cable. If you’d like, you can even use a fancy “75 ohm” version, though this doesn’t make a huge difference in performance, unless you’re using some unshielded, hand-braided thing that’s inappropriate to digital. 2 USB Input. Connect this to your computer with a short (2M or less) USB A-B cable that’s true USB 2.0 rated. An old printer cable may not cut it. Yak-hair insulated hand-braided versions may not cut it either. You may need to install drivers on some Windows versions. The drivers are available at schiit.com/drivers 3 Power Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Feel free to leave it on all the time if you like. 4 Power Input. Connect only to the Schiit-supplied 6VAC wall-wart, or bad things may happen. 1 2 3 4

Other than that, it doesn’t do anything. So you don’t need controls for timing or filters or outputs or inputs or anything like that at all. It is probably worth noting, though, that as a self-powered USB device, Eitr won’t show up as an output option on your computer unless it’s turned on. Also, depending on how your computer handles its USB power management, you may need to make some adjustments on that side. If you experience glitches, drop-outs, or other USB problems, start at schiit.com/faq/ dac-problems and schiit.com/faq/usb-problems for steps you can take to alleviate them. 1
