Playback modes
DAVE has three user-
selectable modes tailored to
the intended operation of the
device: Headphone mode,
Preamplification mode and
DAC mode. Each mode will be
displayed at the bottom of the
screen on the right-hand side.
When headphones are connected
to DAVE, for protection, the
device will enter Headphone
mode, where only the headphone
outputs are enabled. It will
not be possible to manually
deselect this: only removing the
headphones will disengage the
mode.
