Topic: ADI-2 DAC volume control

Hi there smile

this is  a real newb question - but the manual is so dense:

How do i set the DAC to variable output volume?

My preamp is broken so I'm gonna connect the DAC directly to the power amp.

Make sure the "lock volume" option is not enabled roll

I know, just don't know how to do that. The menu system seems so complicated.

Sorry for asking such a lame question.

Do you know the remote control software "ADI-2 Remote"?

You need the latest firmware and MADIface driver installed.
Note: firmware update requires the MADIface driver installed.

The reference converter needs to be connected to your PC via USB, otherwise ADI-2 Remote software won't work.

The  manual is available as PDF and can be easily searched through for 'lock volume'. And voila, page 23, or Chapter 12.1 Subpage Settings. And after that you will say 'of course, exactly where it should be...'.

The question is more like - who turned that on? This is not default.

If you bought a unit that someone else has made personal settings on, I suggest to do a reset.
The default settings are typically completely usable and you avoid “strange” results:


While powering up, push and hold the VOL button (NOT the VOLUME dial) and Encoder 1, until you see the message: “Reset done“.

User Setups and EQ Presets are not deleted.


Or a full factory reset, only if the above didn’t turn out like you intend:

While powering up, push and hold the VOL button (NOT the VOLUME dial) and Encoder 1 and Encoder 2, until you see the message: “Reset done“.

All user Setups and EQ Presets are deleted.
Take notes before, or store them through the Remote App, if you want to keep some.

Re: ADI-2 DAC volume control

a "factory reset" option in the menu would be easier to use instead of this Konami code smile

• SETUP / Setups / Load/Store all Settings / Setup Select: Load Factory(Reset All).
• SETUP / Setups / Load/Store all Settings / Start: (Press 1s).
This is the 1st level reset.

For a full reset, e.g. if something really got screwed, the “power-on-method” is the only way to go.
