1. HEADPHONE OUT
The port features 4 preset gain settings and ultra-high output of up to 16Vrms. The headphone port is designed to perfectly run demanding headphones with high impedance using only the player with no external AMP.
2. PRE-OUT
Select Pre-Out mode on the Pre/Line Out port to output sound to an external amplifier or audio device.
[ Pre-out ]
This mode delivers sound through a specially designed Pre out amplifier, instead of the high-powered Headphone out amp.
Pre-Out functions like a PRE AMP and you can control the volume with the volume wheel.
* No Gain or Voltage settings, maximum output 2Vrms/4Vrms
3. LINE OUT
Select Line Out mode on the Pre/Line Out port to output sound that is optimized when connected to external devices.
[ Line out ]
This mode outputs the sound from the DAC directly without going through an amplifier, resulting in the lowest noise level and making it ideal for connecting to external audio devices.
Line Out has a fixed voltage output (4 levels) and no volume control.
* Do not activate the Line Out mode while earphones or headphones are connected to the PRE·LINE OUT port. Doing so may cause permanent hearing loss.
