Consistent with 5 minutes of USB stream inactivity, the USB “rate” on the display will 
also be cleared once this standby limit is surpassed.

Note that the screen on/off is unrelated to the 5 minute standby setting. The screen 
power-off is related exclusively to the “

SCREEN TIMEOUT” option/setting.

*The USB audio stream may be activated by any audio from your operating system. This 

feature has been tested under Win 10 and macOS. Behavior may vary with other operat-
ing systems. You can verify USB stream status in the “STATUS” menu.

Auto Gain Speed 

Default shows a progress bar and requires about 1/3 of a knob turn to transition between gain 

states. ‘Aggressive’ minimizes internal delays and eliminates the progress bar for a much faster 
transition.

2nd Harmonic Steps

Default: 

0

, with a range of -75 to 75. Large values in either direction will 

increase

 second  

harmonics. 

3rd Harmonic Comp 

Default: 

-20

, with a range of -75 to 75. Large values will 

increase

 3rd harmonics. 

 

DPLL BANDWIDTH 

 

 

Default: 

7

, with a range of 0 to 15. This setting directly impacts jitter rejection, with the optimal 

value dependent on timing stability of your PC or audio source. Most audio sources produce 
stable audio when DPLL is set to 5. We have conservatively increased the default DPLL value to 
7 in order to support a wider range of sources, especially modern 4k TVs. If you encounter  
stuttering, try increasing DPLL Bandwidth.

SPDIF DE-EMPHASIS 

The default value of 

ON

 automatically enables de-emphasis when an incoming S/PDIF stream 

contains such a flag, and otherwise disables de-emphasis. Setting to OFF bypasses auto 

 

de-emphasis.
