Overview Connections Dither Dither is used to avoid artifacts of digital signal processing. Side effect of dither is that Signal/Noise ratio is slightly reduced or artifacts do not completely disappear. Set as desired. Dither 1 (Default): Dither 2: Off: This is a Marantz developed dither that reduces digital artifacts while reducing SNR only very little. Classic dither that reduces all artifacts but also reduces SNR. Highest SNR but digital artifacts may slightly influence soundstage or colorate the sound. NOTE 0 The Dither function does not work when playing a Super Audio CD or DSD audio source. NoiseShaper Improves linearity and noise characteristics in the audible range using digital feedback. The following degrees and methods can be set. The measurements are the same but the sound quality changes. Set as desired. 3rd-1 (Default): 3rd-0: 4th-1: 4th-0: This is the best compromise between highest signal to noise ratio and most open and detailed sound stage. This gives high SNR for natural instruments but may reduce some resolution. 4th order improves the SNR but this cost resolution in sound stage. Highest possible dynamics for wideband music content in this setting. Even higher SNR but only up to 5 kHz. This gives highest possible dynamics for natural instruments and voices. NOTE 0 The NoiseShaper function does not work when playing a Super Audio CD or DSD audio source. ENGLISH Phones The headphones circuit operation can be stopped to minimize noise from the headphones circuit which could interfere with the analog audio output signal. On (Default): Off: Enable the headphones output. Disable the headphones output. 0 When not using headphones, you can enjoy higher quality sound with Off mode. HP AMP Gain Set the gain of the headphone amplifier. Set this according to the impedance of the connected headphones. It is recommended that this is set on the "Low" side if the headphones have low impedance and on the "High" side if they have high impedance. Low (Default): Middle: High: Set the gain of the headphone amplifier to "Low". Set the gain of the headphone amplifier to "Middle". Set the gain of the headphone amplifier to "High". NOTE 0 The headphone volume varies depending on the "HP AMP Gain" setting. Decrease the volume or mute the audio first if changing this setting while listening to audio.
