Output Mode (Out)
The output mode menu has two choices,
preamplifier (PrE) and DAC (dAC). The proper
setting is determined by whether your loudspeaker
playback system has a volume control or not.
If you run the Codex directly into a power amplifier
or powered speakers without any volume control,
choose the preamplifier mode and the volume
control will be active.
If you connect the Codex to a preamplifier or
powered speakers with a volume control, select the
DAC mode and the output level will be at a fixed
level and the volume control will be deactivated.
While in DAC mode, inserting any headphone
plug into the front panel will temporarily activate
the volume control, presetting the output level to
“66”. Removal of all headphone plugs will restore
the unit to DAC mode, with a fixed output level
from the rear-panel jacks.
It is not recommended to use the rear-panel
connectors to drive a stereo system while
simultaneously listening to headphones.
In single-ended mode, the rear-panel
jacks will not output the correct
signals. While this will not damage any
equipment, you will not hear the
proper sound quality from your
speakers in this situation.
