| CHAMELEON PARAMETERS
The Chameleon parameters are:
| PCM EQ
Equalisation Curve (the low-pass filter)
Available settings:
0 = Natural tone
Super slow roll-off
1 = Acoustic tone
Short delay with slow roll-off, with a
group delay of 5.3/Fs
2 = Traditional tone
Slow roll-off
3 = Harmonic Sound
Short delay with low dispersion
4 = Acoustic sound
Short delay with sharp roll-off, with a
group delay of 6.25/Fs
5 = Traditional sound
Sharp roll-off
This control doesn’t apply to DSD les.
| DEE
De-emphasis Curve (the roll-off at high
frequencies)
4 options available, from 0 to 3.
When the value is set to 0, there is no
De-emphasis applied. The De-emphasis
is a filter that helps to optimise the roll-off
at high frequencies. The DS-10 features
3 settings that were originally designed
for digital files with 32kHz, 44.1kHz and
48kHz sampling rates, and that will give
you different results when applied to your
music.
| DAC PWR
DAC Power (the current applied to the
chip)
8 values available, from 0 to 7.
When the value is set to 0, the chip is fed
the default current of 34 mA. By adjusting
the current fed to the DAC chip, you can
move from the cooler and more analytical
sound of the lower range of current, to
the warmer and more analogue one of the
higher range.
Here is the list of the power absorption
values for each step at a xed signal of
1kHz@0dBfs:
0 = 34 mA (default)
1 = 31.7 mA
2 = 32.1 mA
3 = 32.3 mA
4 = 32.6 mA
5 = 31.6 mA
6 = 32 mA
7 = 34.4 mA
We recommend to start with the PCM EQ
parameter to ne tune the DAC, then adjust
the DEE and lastly the DAC PWR.
The DEE and the DAC PWR have more
subtle effects on the sound but can make
quite a difference in some systems.
