WARNING: pay attention to the volume setting when the muting is active: if
volume is raised too much, once the muting is reset the listening level could be
too high so as to damage the speakers or even the listener’s ears. It is always
wiser to limit volume when in mute mode and even when turning on and off the

7.3. Choosing the Signal’s Phase

The YOUNG DSD allows user to choose the phase of the outgoing analog signal. This
feature is useful in various ways. For example, it’s known that some recordings were
made with inverted phase. Absolute phase can therefore be restored applying a
second phase inversion into the DAC. Moreover, balanced connections come in two
different standards, depending on whether a certain piece of equipment was
designed in Japan on in a western Country: When connecting a Japanese gear to an
American or European one, a phase inversion is obtained. In this case, too, a second
phase inversion restores absolute phase.

To invert or restore the phase, just press the “PHASE” key on the remote control.
When the phase is inverted, the indication “PH” appears on the display (Fig. 6).

7.4. Source Selection

The YOUNG DSD is provided with various inputs, therefore it is possible to connect
different sources and select which one to listen to.
