I
2
S Type
The DAC-2v2 series is equipped with a balanced I
2
S connection via HDMI. The I
2
S Type setting adjusts the signal
timing alignment based on what you connect. It will be obvious if the this is set improperly (very distorted sound).
Please note, I
2
S is NOT a ‘typical’ A/V HDMI connection and is incompatible with DVD players, game consoles, TVs,
etc. The corresponding source must also be specifically I
2
S equipped.
Remote Control/DC Trigger
Your new DAC is equipped with a DC trigger output and input jack on the back panel. The Trigger input is on the top
and is used for the HT Bypass or Trigger-on feature. In the Setup Menu, you can select the trigger input to be
configured as a HT Bypass or Remote turn-on feature.
●
HT (Home Theater) Bypass mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is Off, then the HT Bypass on trigger input is active. To use the HT Bypass
feature, connect the pre-outs of your home theater receiver or surround sound processor to the HT Bypass
inputs on the DAC (be sure both DAC and receiver are off before doing so). When either the HT input is
selected on the remote control or the trigger input is activated, the HT Bypass inputs will activate and the
display will read “HT BYPASS”. Caution: be aware that the HT Bypass inputs is a line-level signal at full
volume. Be sure that your receiver or processor’s volume is turned down before playing any material.
●
HT dim level:
When in the HT Bypass mode, different display dim settings can be set in the Setup Menu. When going back
to normal operation the pre-selected dim level will be restored, regardless of the HT dim level setting.
●
Remote Trigger On mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is On, the remote turn-on with trigger input is active. When the DC trigger
input is applied, the DAC will power up as if you pushed the Power button on the front panel. The last used
input will be selected upon power up. The trigger input signal needs to remain active for the unit to stay on.
Once the trigger falls low, the unit will return to the off state.
●
Trigger output:
The lower trigger connector is used for a trigger output to remotely power up power amplifiers when the
DAC is on or in HT mode. Connect one 3.5mm DC trigger cable from the trigger output of your source to the
DAC trigger input to remotely activate the HT bypass or remote turn on feature (one or the other based on
the Setup Menu setting). Connect another 3.5mm cable from the trigger output of the DAC to the trigger
input on your power amps if supplied with one. This will remotely activate your power amps anytime the
DAC in operational even when in HT MODE.
●
Remote:
When the setting under “REMOTE” is Off it will disable the remote. This can be beneficial when you are
operating the DAC with another Wyred component such as the STI or STP-SE in order to eliminate
interference between them. A setting of On leaves the remote control active.
Input Level (DAC-2v2) or Volume Level (DAC-2v2SE)
Choose Fixed or Variable for input/volume level. Fixed mode bypasses the internal DAC volume control, while
Variable mode engages it. Fixed mode should be used if you are connecting the DAC to a preamplifier, receiver, etc.
to use that component’s volume control. Choose Variable to use the DAC’s internal volume control for connecting
