While the display
blinks, the left "Selector" button allows moving the selection to
the left.
Right "Selector" buttons:
While the display is not
blinking, it allows selecting the input source in increasing order.
"1 - AES", for the AES/EBU digital input;
"2- BNC", for the BNC coaxial digital input;
"3 - RCA", for the RCA coaxial digital input;
"4 - OPT", for the optical digital input;
"5 - IIS", for the HDMI-IIS digital input;
"6 - USB", for the USB digital input.
In the R-8 MK2 edition, the IN2 BNC input is the BNC coaxial input .
In the R-8 EC edition , the
IN2 BNC input is the external 10MHz 75ohm input port, it need the
level 1-3V p-p, it can work with sine and square waves but recommend
square wave ,setting through the

While the display is blinking, it allows changing the value of the
selected setting.
Setting values:
Important warning:
Before changing the settings,
the user is advised to lower the volume and to stop the playback.
To guarantee the best possible
sound quality, this DAC is without a muting function, therefore
unwanted sounds can occur while settings are modified.
After 5 seconds without pushing
buttons, the display will stop blinking; the user can then resume
music playback and raise the volume to the desired level.
The leftmost and
second digit from the left: Oversampling select
O (OS) : to select the oversampling
mode.
n (NOS) : to select the NOS mode.
While working under oversampling (OS) mode, the lower the oversampling level is, the
warmer the sound will be. The possible values are:
N0 : New configure
NOS setting.
N1 : basic NOS mode.
O2 : 2X oversampling.
O4 : 4X oversampling.
O8 : 8X oversampling
The 3rd digit: Simulates the
sound of a turnable
S
(Simulate) : Activate the phono simulation feature, and we recommend to set the DAC on
OS2, OS0 or NOS mode for best results.
n (Non-Simulate) :
Disable the phono simulation.
The 4th digit: reserved for
future use
The 5th digit:
Display
auto-dimming setting
A (Auto) : Enables the display's
auto-dimming; the display will dim 10 seconds after the buttons are
left untouched, only keeping a LED bar lit to indicate the unit is

back on.
n (Non auto): Disables the display's
auto-dimming, the display will remain on at all time.

Push the "SETTING" button
1 times, the 1st and 2rd digit will blink, then push the right "Selector"
button to set the value to "O8".
Then push the "SETTING" button
one more time, the 3rd digit will blink, then push the right "Selector" button to set
the value to "8".
2. Settings for NOS1 and phono simulation mode:
Push the "SETTING" button 1 times, the

set the value to "S" .
3. Settings for NOS0 mode with phono simulation
(new option combination to get the warmest and smoothest sound ):
Push the "SETTING" button 1
times, the
