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 remote control if
you plan on using the DAC with other W4S products that offer the same features such as the STP or STI
products. This will eliminate any interference between the units when the remote is used.
Note: For the fixed mode to operate properly, you must set the Min level for that input to (0).

There are several settings in the setup menu that most will not opt to change, but they are there just in-
case… W4S has set the default settings for optimal sonics. Certain systems may benefit from changing these
settings, and is really a personal preference more than anything. PCM Bandwidth selects the range of which the
dac will filter the signal. Allowing higher bandwidths may introduce more information and noise than desired.
IIR stands for Infinite Impulse Response. This is another setting that each customer should tune to their liking.
Please note that these settings offer the slightest sonic differences and may not be really noticed or appreciated
until the unit is fully “broken-in”.
