Headphones X-Feed e Headphones Cross-Feed feature is used to create a more spacious and lifelike
soundeld when listening through headphones. e center-back-of-the-head
image produced by stereo signals played back through headphones is unnatural
compared to our normal method of hearing, where both ears are listening to the
music source and determining spacial cues based on arrival times and the shape
of your head. e X-Feed feature mixes some phase-adjusted left channel into
the right channel and vice versa to create a more natural soundeld and reduce
listener fatigue.
When the Headphone Cross-Feed feature is enabled, the headphone icon on the
home page will appear as follows:
Advanced Settings Advanced Settings allow you to:
• Restore Defaults, which discards all settings and returns the Delta PRE to
its Factory Defaults.
• Archive Settings, which saves the current settings, allowing you to make
future changes but return to these settings if desired.
• Restore Settings, which loads the settings previously saved by the Archive
Settings command.
• Enable Wake on Network, which allows the Delta PRE to detect power
ON commands from external network controls like CAN Bus, RS-232
and IP-control including the Classé app. e default mode is for the Wake
on Network feature to be enabled.* If you want this feature to be disabled,
toggle the checkbox o.
• Enable Auto Standby, which puts the Delta PRE into standby after a
chosen period of inactivity. e default mode is for the Auto Standby
feature to be disabled.* If you want this feature to be enabled, toggle the
checkbox as checked and select the preferred time limit.
Note: e methods used to detect small signals in the Delta PRE are designed
to avoid any possibility of degrading sound quality and as such, they do an
imperfect job of recognizing when small or low volume signals are present.
For this reason, with Auto Standby enabled, the unit may go into standby
unexpectedly while signals are present.
* Note that the UK/EU version units such as those sold in the
European Union are shipped with Wake on Network mode disabled
and Auto Standby mode enabled.
Restoring default setttings will enable Wake on Network mode as well
as disable Auto Standby mode.
Tone Control Setting up the Tone Control involves choosing high and low frequency
inection points, and relative cut or boost for them. e factory default settings
create what is called a tilt control, which tilts the tonal balance either toward
more high and less low frequency for a leaner, crisper sound, or the opposite
direction toward a warmer, fuller sound.
NOTE: To change these parameters, press MENU, then System
Setup, Tone Control Setup.
