7.9. Choosing Volume Mode
The YOUNG DSD listening level can be displayed in two fashions: either in deciBels or
in steps. Moreover, it is possible to freeze the listening level to the current value (this
is useful when the YOUNG DSD is used as a true source connected to a preamplifier or
integrated amplifier).
In decibel mode, the maximum level is 0dB, while negative values with increasing
magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening level of -
15dB is higher than a listening level of -20dB.
In steps mode, the maximum listening level is 192, while positive values with
decreasing magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening
level of 40 will be higher than a listening level of 30.
This feature is displayed as in Fig 10. The example shows that the current volume
mode is in deciBels. Other modes are indicated by “STEPS” and “DISABLED”.
