Balance. Allows for setting the left-right balance in 1dB steps. Due to the digital nature of
the unit, balance works in attenuation: setting the balance to right means attenuating left,
and vice-versa. The maximum value is +/-7dB.
Volume mode. Allows for choosing the way the volume is operated. Three values are
available:
• dB (0 = max, -90 = min)
• Steps (180 = max, OFF = min)
• Volume off
The first two options only choose the way volume is displayed. The third choice disables
the volume control (recommended when using the VAUGHAN as a source with a
preamplifier or an integrated amplifier). Please note that when choosing “Volume off”, the
output level is fixed to the last value set before disabling the volume. This is useful when
the 0dB volume is too high for your preamplifier.
Input mode. Allows for choosing the input mode for the selected input. Two values are
possible:
• 2 channels
• mono
Please note this option doesn’t apply to I

S and USB inputs.
External clock. Allows for toggling the external clock usage. Two values are possible:
• Off
• On
When “Off” is selected, any external clock applied to the external clock input is ignored.
When “On” is selected, the external clock is used to clock the unit when present on the
external clock input. Please be sure that the clock is present when starting playback.
Power mode. Allows for choosing the power management strategy. Three values are
possible:
• Auto
• AC
• Manual
