USING THE DS-1000 EVO

OUTPUT SELECTION

The DS-1000 EVO has two audio outputs:

|LINE OUT

|HEADPHONES (HIGH/LOW)

Each output features a dedicated preamp

stage and you can send audio to both

outputs at the same time while adjusting the

volume for each independently.

For example, you can play music on LINE

OUT at a volume of 55 and at the same time

on HEADPHONES at a volume of 42.

Plug in your headphones and the DS-1000

EVO will automatically select HEADPHONES

as the output and mute LINE OUT. Select

LINE OUT to send audio to the RCA and XLR

outputs while the headphones are plugged

in.

To adjust the volume of an output, select it

from the menu first and then use the remote

or the SKC to change the volume. If you are

playing audio from both outputs and want

to mute one, select it first and then put it on

MUTE.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT LEVEL

When using the headphone output, you can

adjust the output level to match it to your

headphones’ requirements. We suggest to

select HIGH if you are using low-sensitivity

headphones, and LOW for high-sensitivity

headphones.

In DAC mode, the DS-1000 EVO deactivates

the volume control so the signal is at the

fixed output of the source and you will need

an external preamp stage to adjust it.

When you select the DAC mode, a warning

message will show as a safety measure,

confirming the selection to proceed. Be

always careful to avoid damages to your

loudspeakers and system when switching to

the DAC mode.
