Operation

Input selection

With this rotary switch on the left side of the device, up to four input sources can be

selected. Depending on the equipment of the device, individual positions may have

no function.

Digital 1-2, as well as option (if equipped with digital input), selects the input signal for

the DA-converter. Analog, as well as option (if equipped with analog input), switches

the respective analog input to the analog output instead of the internal DA-

converter. The inputs can also be selected by remote control.

"super-analog" reconstruction filter

This DA-converter has a sophisticated enhancement, which especially allows CD-

quality recordings to shine with more clarity, body, and with special musical finesse.

The greatest gain is usually heard in recordings released on CD in the 80s, which tend

to be annoying. The better the recordings, however, the sooner the enhancement

can be dispensed with. Very good recordings may even sound better without this

"special filter".

Therefore, this filter can be switched on separately by selecting the two or three

digital inputs a second time. If you turn from Digital 1 to the left, the digital inputs are

selected again in sequence. In addition, the LED for analog now also lights up yellow.

So if a digital input is red and at the same time the analog input is yellow, the DAC is

working with a "super-analog" reconstruction filter.

Volume control (output level)

The volume is controlled by a network of switched high precision fixed resistors.

However, the volume is adjusted quite classically via a potentiometer: the large knob

on the right. With the remote control, this knob is moved by a motor drive.

The push-button +10dB switches on an additional gain of 10dB.

ATTENTION! The level jump when activating +10dB is quite significant. This can cause

damage to material (loudspeaker) as well as to humans (hearing). So please always use

it very carefully!
