XDA-2

XDA-2 Front Panel

1. Headphone Jack

The headphone amplier in the XDA-2 is an all-discrete audiophile quality design with

excellent noise and distortion characteristics and very low output impedance. When there

are headphones plugged into this jack, the main outputs are muted, and the Volume buttons

on the front panel (and on the remote control) adjust the headphone output level. When no

headphones are plugged in, the Volume buttons adjust the main output level. Both settings

are stored independently.

2. Mute Button

Press the Mute button once to mute the output of the XDA-2; press it again to return to the

previously selected level. Pressing the Mute button mutes both the main outputs and the

headphone outputs. Pressing Volume Up immediately cancels the mute function.

3. Volume Up and Volume Down Buttons

Pressing the Volume Up button raises the Volume; pressing the Volume Down button

lowers it. A single press moves the Volume one step, holding the button causes the Volume

to move smoothly. When there are headphones plugged into this jack, the Volume buttons

on the front panel (and on the remote control) adjust the headphone output level. When no

headphones are plugged in, the Volume buttons adjust the main output level.

Volume control is via a precision digitally controlled analog resistor ladder network, which

ensures absolute repeatability and near-perfect channel matching, even at very low

settings. Unlike digital volume controls, the XDA-2’s analog volume control doesn’t reduce

bit depth nor introduce grain or distortion at low volume settings.
