OWNERS MANUAL  FOR  WEISS MEDUS D/A CONVERTER 

 

 

 

 

Remote Control 

 

 

The Remote Control allows to control the following 
parameters: 

 

-

 

basic output level with the gain trim keys as described 
above 

-

 

output volume in the digital domain with 0.5dB steps 
over a range of 60dB. With the 0dB setting (maximum 
level) the volume control is bit transparent 

-

 

output mute 

-

 

up-sampling filter A/B selection 

-

 

absolute polarity (0 / 180°) 

-

 

input number 1…4 

-

 

display brightness 

 

A paper on the topic of digital level control (including sound 
examples) can be found here:
