•  Source (Detailed):

 display Source name plus other information like 

volume level.

•  Digital VU Meter

•  Analog VU Meter

VU Meter monitors or reflects audio input level of current BluOS 
source. If “Mute” is enabled, the VU meter will not turn off or go to 
minimum level as it is the audio output that is muted. 

5  Auto Sense (not applicable for Phono and BluOS Sources):

 At 

enabled mode, unit wakes up from standby mode when triggered by 
an applicable active Source. 

6  MQA Pass-through (applies only to Coaxial and Optical Sources):

 

Enable MQA Pass-through for the M33 to act as MQA decoder or 
renderer when MQA certified CD player or other MQA certified devices 
are connected to coaxial or optical input ports.

7  A/V Mode:

 By connecting your TV or other video sources to your 

M33 through coaxial, optical or HDMI input ports, you can listen to 
your favorite shows or movies through your BluOS system. Grouping 
multiple BluOS devices from one of these inputs can require 
an abundance of network traffic. A/V mode creates a short and 
unobtrusive buffer to your audio to ensure your BluOS system stays in 
sync with your video even with slower or cluttered networks.

Enabled:

 With A/V Mode enabled on your input source, audio delay 

will be automatically adjusted to keep your grouped BluOS devices 
in sync with the video source connected. Use the Lip-sync delay 
option below the A/V Mode setting to manually select the delay 
time to better suit the speed of your network.

Disabled:

 When your M33 is connected to an audio source without 

video, such as a turntable or CD player, the A/V Mode setting 
should be disabled.

8  Lip-sync delay:

 With A/V Mode enabled, “Lip-sync delay” can be 

adjusted to ensure your audio is staying in sync over your network 
with the original video source. By varying “Lip-sync delay” from 50ms to 
150ms, one can delay the audio output to synchronize it with the video 
image of the corresponding source. 

9  Hide Source:

 Activate or deactivate selected Source

10  ADC Sample Rate (applies to Analog Sources only)

An analog audio input is converted to digital signal by making use of 
M33’s superb circuitry called analog-to-digital converter (ADC). 

Using this ADC Rate feature, the sampling rate of the resulting digital 
audio signal ((available when using BluOS multi-room streaming)) can 
be converted into three levels - 48K, 96K and 192K. Make sure that the 
associated equipment will be able to handle the applicable digital 
audio signal level. 

11  Analog Gain (applies to Analog Sources only)

Gain adjustment allows all sources to play back at the same volume 
level so you don’t need to adjust the volume every time a new source 
is selected. It is generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest 
source rather than making louder the softer sources. 

12  Phono Type (applies to Phono Sources only)

Select either MM (moving magnet) or MC (moving coil) depending 
upon the connected turntable’s phono cartridge.
