DAC V2 DAC 12 Thank you for purchasing the DAC Signature V2 from ZEN series. The DAC Signature V2 is a balanced USB-audio DAC amplifier. 1. Analogue Volume control The analogue volume control in the ZEN DAC Signature V2 is superior to any digital volume control. It can be used to control the headphone volume or the pre-amplifier volume (when set to 'Variable'). If the output at the rear is set to 'Fixed' the volume control is bypassed. 2. Audio Format LED (kHz) The LED colour scheme indicates the audio format and sampling frequency received by the ZEN DAC Signature V2 from the music source. LED Mode Yellow PCM 44.1/48kHz White PCM 88.2/96/176.4/192/352.8/384kHz Cyan DSD 64/128 Red Green DSD 256 MQA Blue MQA Studio Magenta *MQB Original Sample Rate* DAC V2 3 4 5 6 7 3. Balanced 4.4mm analogue output This is an analogue output via 4.4mm > XLR or other balanced interconnects. You could use this for an active speaker or an amplifier. Tip: As the ZEN DAC Signature V2 is balanced, this is the recommended output. 4.
