5 Configuration

Configuration of your C1.2 DAC/Controller is accomplished by setting parameters in the Menu mode (see

previous section for how to access Menu mode and how to navigate menu items).

C1.2 DAC/Controller menu structure

There are six main menus used for configuring the C1.2:

AUDIO: Allows users to adjust audio related parameters

INPUT: Allows users to adjust input specific parameters

DISPLAY SETTINGS: Allows users to adjust display related parameters

SHORTCUTS: Allows users to assign and modify Shortcuts in order to optimize the user interface

NETWORK: Provides information about the network setup and configuration

FACTORY SETTINGS: Indicates the software version and allows it to be updated. Shows installed option

boards. Allows users and service technicians to return the unit to factory settings and calibrate the C.2. Also

allows the user to configure the unit as a DAC (with fixed output) or preamplifier (with variable output)

Mute: Mutes or unmutes the audio output.

Polarity: Allows users to reverse the absolute phase polarity of the audio output.

Balance: Left-right balance control.

Channel mode: Mono or stereo mode.

Max start volume: Limits the C1.2 startup volume.

Max volume: Limits the C1.2 volume.

USB audio class: Class 1 is compatible with any computer but sampling rate is then limited to 96kHz. Class 2

requires a quite recent computer but allows higher quality audio playback.

USB audio power: Allows users to shut down the USB audio section when it is not being used.

Type: Disabled (this input is hidden), normal (the global volume control operates for this input) or bypass

(the global volume control does not apply to this input and a fixed output level of 0dB gain is used instead).

Please note that the bypass setting should only be used in conjunction with an external processor or other,

volume control equipped unit.

Clock source: Allows user to synchronize the C1.2 to an external clock, to the incoming audio stream, or to

act as clock master. There is more information about optimizing clock configuration in the Advanced clocking

chapter of this manual.

Gain: Adjusts level for each input

Name: Renames each input and displays that name when the input is selected
