Adjust the DAC lock range (N-70A only)
Use this function to make fine adjustments in the pursuit of
higher audio quality. Even using clock input with the same
jitter, incidental noise can be reduced and overall sound
quality increased by narrowing the lock range. However, if you
set the lock range too narrow, then an input signal with severe
jitter may release the lock and interrupt the audio or generate
noise. If that happens, expand the lock range again while
listening to the audio until you can hear it correctly. In regard
to the audio interruption or generation of noise when the lock
range setting is too narrow (aside from normal setting), this is
not covered by the unit’s guarantee of operation. Increase the
lock range setting so that the audio does not cut out. The unit
will remember lock range settings for each input.

You can choose from one of 7 ranges.
Note
•
Please note that Range 1 – Range 3 are settings intended
for expert users, allowing for more detailed adjustment of
sound quality but also greatly increasing the frequency
with which audio may cut out. In particular, if you are
playing a series of tracks with different sampling
frequencies or bitrates, the audio may cut out depending
on the track.
•
Even if Up Sampling has been set and the sampling
frequency raised, sound will still be prone to dropouts.
•
If signal dropout occurs, try readjusting the lock range to a
wider value so that the sound appears normal. Narrowing
the width of the lock range setting (other than in normal
conditions) is considered outside the range of warranted
operation as regards signal dropout. In such cases, widen
the lock range setting until dropouts do not occur.

If you have selected anything other than Range 7, the L.R.A.

During analog audio output, switching off the digital output
will suppress the effect that the digital noise has to the
analog circuit in terms of audio quality, resulting in a higher
quality audio playback.
