USING THE DS-10 EVO
OUTPUT SELECTION
The DS-10 EVO has two audio outputs:
| LINE OUT
| HEADPHONES (HIGH/LOW)
Each output features a dedicated preamp
stage to control the volume on that output,
meaning that you can send audio to both
at the same time and adjust the volume for
each independently.
For example, you can send the audio to
“Line Out” at a volume of 55 while sending it
also to “Headphones” at a volume of 42.
Select “Line Out” to send audio to the RCA
and XLR outputs.
Select “Headphones” to send audio to
the headphone output. When you plug
in your headphones, the DS-10 EVO will
automatically select Headphones as the
output and mute Line Out.
To adjust the volume of an output, select it
from the menu first and then use the remote
or the SKC to change the volume. If you are
playing audio from both outputs and want
to mute one, select it first and then put it on
MUTE.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT LEVEL
When using the headphone output, you can
adjust the output level to match it to your
headphones’ requirements. We suggest to
select “High” if you are using low-sensitivity
headphones, and “Low” for high-sensitivity
headphones.

PRE AND DAC MODE
The DS-10 EVO can operate in two
modes:
| PRE
| DAC
When used in PRE mode, the preamp
stage is active and you can adjust the
volume using the remote, the SKC or the
app GN Control. In DAC mode, the DS-
10 EVO deactivates the volume control
so the signal is at the fixed output of the
source and you will need an external
preamp stage to adjust it.
When you select the DAC mode, a
warning message will show as a safety
measure, confirming the selection to
proceed. Be always careful to avoid
damages to your loudspeakers and
system when switching to the DAC mode.
AUDIO FORMAT AND INFO
The file format and resolution of the
audio stream are displayed in real-time,
including additional info such as when
you are playing MQA files (the MQA icon
shows at the top).
MUTE CONTROL
To mute or un-mute the audio input,
press twice the SKC.
