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”.
