Gold Note DS-10 Anleitung Seite 18

USING THE DS-10
OUTPUT SELECTION
The DS-10 has two audio outputs:
|
LINE OUT
|
HEADPHONES
Each output features a dedicated preamp
stage to control the volume on that output,
meaning that you can send audio to both at
the same time and adjust the volume of each
independently.
For example, you can send the audio to Line
Out at a volume of 55 while sending it also
to Headphones at a volume of 42.
Select Line Out to send audio to the RCA
and XLR outputs.
Select Headphones to send audio to the
headphone output. When you plug in your
headphones, the DS-10 will automatically
select Headphones as the output and mute
the Line Out.
To adjust the volume of an output, select it
from the menu first and then use the remote
or the SKC to change the volume. If you are
playing audio from both outputs and want
to mute one, select it first and then put it on
MUTE.
PRE AND DAC MODE
The DS-10 can operate in two modes:
|
PRE
|
DAC
When used in PRE mode, the preamp stage
is active and you can adjust the volume using
the remote, the SKC or the app GN Control.
In DAC mode, the DS-10 deactivates the
volume control so the signal is at the fixed
output of the source and you will need an
external preamp stage to adjust it.
When you select the DAC mode, a warning
message will show as a safety measure,
confirm the selection to proceed. Be
always careful to avoid damages to your
loudspeakers and system when switching to
the DAC mode.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT LEVEL
When using the headphone output, you can
adjust the output level to match it to your
headphones requirements. We suggest to
select High if you are using low-sensitivity
headphones, and Low for high-sensitivity
headphones.
AUDIO FORMAT AND INFO
The file format and resolution of the audio
stream are displayed in real-time, including
additional info such as when you are playing
MQA files (the MQA icon shows at the top).
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
You can adjust the display brightness in 4
steps:
|
100%
|
50%
|
25%
|
OFF
When OFF, use the SKC or the remote to
activate again the display for 3 seconds, the
display then turns off again.
