The Input button rotates through the
different inputs on the DAC9; note the

Mute
When activated, Mute electrically disables
all outputs of the converter; indicated by

right corner. This control should be
activated before switching inputs, changing
connections or shutting down your audio
system to help protect your amplifier and
speakers from unexpected signal pulses.
