HT Bypass mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is Off, then the HT Bypass on trigger-in is active. There are a pair of analog
inputs (inner most pair of RCA’s) that should be connected to the pre-outs of a surround sound processor to
be switched in to bypass the DAC circuitry when in HT mode. When either the HT input is selected, or the
trigger input is activated, the HT inputs will be directly connected to the DAC outputs. This will offer a line-
level pass thru that can be used to feed your power amps as if the DAC wasn’t there to begin with.
When in the HT Bypass feature, different display dim settings can be set in the set-up menu. These options are
available in the setup menu. When going back to normal operation the pre-selected dim level will be restored
regardless of the HT Dim level setting.
Remote Trigger On mode:
When the setting under “TRIG” is On, then the remote turn on with trigger-in is active. When the DC trigger
input is applied, then the DAC will power up as if you pushed the power button on the front panel. The last
used input will be selected upon power up. The trigger input signal needs to remain active for the unit to stay
on. Once the trigger falls low, the unit will return to the off state.
Trigger output:
The lower trigger connector is used for a trigger output to remotely power up power amplifiers when the DAC
is on or in HT mode. Connect one 3.5mm DC trigger cable from the trigger output of your source to the DAC
trigger input to remotely activate the HT bypass or remote turn on feature (one or the other based on the set-
up setting). Connect another 3.5mm cable from the trigger output of the DAC to the trigger input on your
power amps if supplied with one. This will remotely activate your power amps anytime the DAC in operational
even when in HT MODE.
Remote:
When the setting under “REMOTE” is Off it will disable the remote communication with the unit. This can be
beneficial when you are operating the DAC with another Wyred component such as the STI or STP-SE in order
to eliminate interference between them. A setting of On leaves the remote control active.

When scrolling through the setup menu will notice that the volume control can be selected to be either
variable or fixed. When it is desired to use the DAC-2 with another preamp, you can configure the inputs to be
fixed. This will set the output to the max level. If the output of the DAC is a little high for your system, you can
reduce the Max setting for that input to limit or reduce the output level. Essentially, the Max setting can be
used to reduce the output gain according to personal preference or to obtain the sweet-spot your preamp
likes to be operated in. Another feature worthy of noting in the setup menu is that you can also disable the
