STEP 5: The Cygnus has two user-adjustable audio controls, Filter and Upsampling, both of which can be
accessed by hitting the Setup button under the touchscreen when an input is selected.
Filter selects one of four digital filters. Press the Filter button on the Input Setup screen to change the filter.
Try all four and select the one that sounds best. There’s no “right” filter. Your options are:
Filter 1—Standard: Normal steep filter with preringing, used on most DACs and CD players.
Filter 2—Minimum Phase, Normal: No preringing with steep rolloff.
Filter 3—Slow rolloff: Like Standard but with gentler rolloff.
Filter 4—Minimum Phase, Apodizing: No preringing with gentle rolloff.
Upsampling converts all digital signals to the maximum resolution of the Cygnus DAC, which is 32 bits/192
kilohertz. Press the Upsampling button on the Input Setup screen to change the filter setting. Again, there’s
no “right” setting of this control, but we usually prefer listening with Upsampling off.
STEP 5: To change inputs, press the Return or Home buttons under the front touchscreen to bring up the
Input Select screen, or tap the Input Select up/down scroll buttons on the remote.
STEP 6: To mute the Cygnus’ output, press the Mute button under the front touchscreen. Press Mute again to
restore the sound.
STEP 7: To turn the system off, stop playback on the source device or the Cygnus Media Player. Press the
Standby button in the middle under the LCD touchscreen. The unit will enter cool-down mode for 10 seconds,
during which no buttons will work. After cool-down mode finishes, you can turn the unit back on again as
described in Step 2 above.
Using the web interface to control the Music Player
Using only the standard digital inputs (AES/EBU, RCA, Toslink), you can operate the Cygnus entirely from its
front-panel controls. If you wish to use the Media Player function, you will need to use the web interface,
which runs on any WiFi-connected tablet, computer or phone that can run a web browser.
TO OPEN THE INTERFACE: If you are using an Apple device, enter cygnus.local in the address bar at top. If you
are using a PC or an Android or Windows tablet or phone, enter 172.17.2.254 in the address bar at top. Now
hit the Enter or Return button. You should see the interface appear.
