Bypass Mode
Bypass mode sets Sonica DAC's output level to full and disables the volume control. This is useful if you
are connecting Sonica DAC to a device that has its own volume control, such as a preamplifier or an A/V
receiver. The available Bypass options are:
Variable Volume (default) – The output level is variable and controlled by the Volume Knob.
Bypass AUX Input ‐ The AUX Audio Input will be in the Bypass mode while all other sources are
controlled by the Volume Knob. This option is useful if the source that is connected to the AUX
Audio Input already has a volume control.
Bypass All Inputs ‐ All input sources will be in Bypass mode.
