Dimensions / Weight

Noise Shaper

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.


Balanced (Default):	This is the best compromise between highest signal to noise ratio and most open and detailed sound stage.
Natural:	This gives high SNR for natural instruments but may reduce some resolution.
Dynamic Music:	This improves the SNR but this cost resolution in sound stage. Highest possible dynamics for wideband music content in this setting.
Dynamic Voice:	Even higher SNR but only up to 5 kHz. This gives highest possible dynamics for natural instruments and voices.

NOTE

The Noise Shaper function does not work when playing a DSD audio source.
