Input channel select:
X22 has 5 channels to input. In main menu press the button to select in
COAX——AES——USB——IIS——OPT.
3.
Volume
In main menu turn the knob to adjust the volume. Clockwise to increase counter
clockwise to decrease from -90dB to 0dB a total of 90 levels adjustment.

The menu shows the default settings. if you want to return to the default parameters, you can also press and
hold down the Down key in the shutdown state at the same time to boot. Three seconds after powering on release
the button and then it will be restored to the factory settings.

Menu introduction:
When the main interface status press Menu to enter, the following were introduced
to each line of the menu.
a.PCM FILTER(PCM
数字滤波器调节
)
:
PCM FILTER:
X22
'
s filter can work in seven modes:
M-SHARP —— M-SLOW —— L-SHARP —— L-SLOW —— HYBRID —— APODIZING —— BRICKWALL
switched by the knob
SHARP/SLOW filter divided in two groups. One is MINIMUM PHASE start with M-.The
other one is LINEAR PHASE start with M-.SHARP for rapid roll-off digital filtering
it is the most common type sounds most accurate and neutral. LOW slow roll-off.
which has a smooth signal attenuation characteristics of the band. but also because
of the band Attenuation characteristics. MINIMUM PHASE and LINEAR PHASE have the
different Impulse response. MINIMUM PHASE without pre-ringing but long post-ringing.
Can be more harmonic overtones. HYBRID Combined with the characteristics of the
two. Sometimes could have the advantages of two. APODIZING is a unique filter could
conceal the Pre-ringing(a type of digital distortion will resulting in some
unnatural sharp or harsh sound).BRICKWALL the filter is sharp roll-off and clean
sound.
b. DSD Filter(DSD 数字滤波器调节)
:
X22 DSD filter with 4 different bandwidth can be selected. Rotate the knob to
select in 47K——50K——60K——70K circularly. According to the sampling rate to
adjust.47K is recommended when listen DSD64(2.82M).The larger bandwidth means
more treble detail
c.DPLL BW(数字锁相环带宽调整):
The digital phase-locked loop has a total of two(NORMAL / HIGH) kinds of bandwidth
for adjustment. Under normal circumstances, select NORMAL to match the most sources.
When the DAC-X22 always out of lock, you can choose HIGH bandwidth to provide
greater jitter tolerance, but at the same time there is a slight degradation in
performance.

d. MCLK MODE(主时钟模式)
:
After many years of research and development.X22 archive this unique function. In
order to set the ES9038PRO in the best clock environment--True HI-END performance.
When select AUTO.X22 will enter the adaptive master clock mode. A more accurate
clock will be obtained by a set of high performance PLLs (phase-locked loop), and
it will be transmitted to the ES9038 DAC. The asrc will be turn down. The digital
filter inside ES9038 will no longer produce a weak timing error (jitter), and the
digital signal will be more accurately recovered. When the NORMAL option is
selected, the ASRC is turned on and the clock mode will be fixed at 100M femto-
second clock, as the official design of the ES9038PRO.
* Under the
“
Auto
”
mode, the quality of the master clock of DAC-X22A will be more or less performance depended by the quality of
the superior clock.
This mode is recommended to be used only for the clock of the front-end audio equipment in good condition.
e. PHASE INVERT:
The amplifier in the RCA output default is positive phase. XLR balanced output for
the American standard polarity output. that is 1,2 hot 3 cold. There are two
options for this function: DISABLE and ENABLE (optional).
f. BRIGHTNESS(
屏幕亮度
):
There are 8 levels of brightness to adjust(OLED Display)

Notice!
1)
Operating distance of the remoter varies depending on the angle.
2)
If there something blocks the remoter and the sensor, operation might be failed.
3)
If the remoter will not be used for a long time (one month or longer), the battery is
recommended to be removed.
4)
If battery liquid leakage happens, battery compartment should be clean immediately and
installed a new battery
5)
This remoter might cause the wrong operation of other infrared-red controlled devices.
