Setting your CLASSIC DAC 

Thanks to its LCD display and the controller, you will be able to set up your CLASSIC 
DAC to fully integrate it within your system. 
 

 

 
How to configure 
It is simple, one knob that does everything. 
You  can  rotate  it  or  press it.  If you  rotate 
the Controller, you select the desired input. 
If you push on it, you set/remove the phase 
inversion mode.  
 

 
When the phase inversion mode is active, the character «Ø» appears in the lower right 
corner of the display:
