Cyrus DAC XP Signature

User Instructions

7

Switching On

The mains power to the 

DAC XP Signature

 should normally 

be left on unless left unattended for a long period when the 

mains power at the wall socket should be switched off or 

the product disconnected from the AC supply. 
When power is applied, the STANDBY key 

a

 is used for power 

control. The Standby light 

b

 shows red when the 

DAC XP 

Signature

 is in Standby and green when operational.

Selecting an input

Inputs may be selected from the front panel INPUT SELECT 

buttons 

i

 or with the remote control INPUT SELECT keys. As 

a new input is selected the input name/number are displayed 

briefly. The main display indication for input/volume can be 

selected from the three options in the setup menu.
The  factory  default  ‘small  input’  display  option  will  also 

identify the sample rate of the selected source and indicate 

‘Invalid Audio Format’ for program material which the 

DAC 

XP Signature

 will not decode (such as multi-channel digital 

sound from DVD players or satellite receivers).

Volume and Balance

The level control 

e

 of the 

DAC XP Signature

 performs the 

dual functions of volume and balance.

Volume

In  normal  mode  the  level  control  sets  the  volume  in  1dB 

steps.  A  bargraph  and  a  numeric  scale  at  the  top  of  the 

display  window  show  the  current  volume  setting.  The 

last used volume setting is stored when the unit is set to 

standby.
If the volume is left at an abnormally high volume level before 

entering standby, the level will be reduced automatically to 

a safe level of –15dB for next use.

Balance

Press  the  balance  control  key 

g

  to  change  the  mode  of 

the front panel rotary control 

e

 to set Left/Right Balance. 

The volume display will also change to show a graphic and 

numeric display of the balance setting.

Mute

Pressing the MuTe Key 

h

 will mute the volume to minimum 

level without disturbing the existing volume setting. When 

muted the display will show that volume is muted. Move 

the volume knob up or press the Mute key to fade back up 

to the original volume setting.

Programmable Input Sensitivity

You may find an audible difference in level when switching 

from digital inputs to one of the two analogue inputs due 

to  the  differing  outputs  of  your  source  components.  The 

unique calibration memory of the 

DAC XP Signature

 can be 

programmed to match the sensitivity of these inputs with 

reference to the digital inputs. Input sensitivity settings are 

made through the setup menu. Refer to the section ‘Setting 

up the 

DAC XP Signature

’ for more details.
