Select between the ability to adjust levels for analog outputs (21), (22) and headphone outputs (17).
The level is shown on the display (6) when adjusting, with a range of -95dB to 0dB with -1dB steps.
A click is heard as each relay engages the precision resistors. The last value is OFF which mutes
all analog outputs.
8. Display
Multi-function display can show Sample Rate, DSD Rate, Main Volume & Headphone Level, Source
Input, Headphone amplifier impedance and info concerning USB mode. See also (7), (9), (10) for
related functions.
9. Volume Select button
This allows you to select between controlling balanced outputs, unbalanced outputs and headphone
outputs. To change between balanced outputs and unbalanced outputs: press and hold the A/B
button while the balanced outputs are selected. A single illuminated dot indicates that the unbalanced
output is selected and three illuminated dots indicate that the balanced output is selected.

Hint: When the display shows the sample rate, you should push this button twice in order to switch
to the next available source input.
14. Mono button
Pressing the mono button activates the summed outputs to give mono on the analog and headphone
