The DAC operates in the following two profile modes depending on the settings:

Standard Mode

  • Prioritizes power efficiency, with a slight compromise in sound quality.

  • Recommended for mobile use.

Performance Mode

  • Prioritizes sound quality.

The output power of Standard and Performance is the same.


You can choose between High Gain Mode and Normal Gain Mode.

  • Maximum device volume: 0dB

High Gain Mode

  • UNBAL max. 4VRMS / BAL max. 8VRMS

Switching between Gain Modes does not affect the current volume level. In High Gain Mode, the maximum device volume increases to +6dB.
