10 Mykerinos-X Monitoring Headphone Features (J3)
The monitoring output is based on a stereo 192kHz / 24 bit D/A (unbalanced). The output level is software controlled.
When working with a DSD project, the output on the monitoring is directly output from a 1-bit DSD stream.
Maximum output level is 17.4dBu.

Note: For very critical listening and to further improve the noise floor of the right channel of the monitoring output, the user should
set the level of the LTC output as low as possible or simply turn it off if the LTC output is not necessary.
