523 DUAL-MONAURAL PREAMPLIFIER / OWNER’S MANUAL
ENGLISH
SETUP MENU
• When the name is set to your liking, press Enter and it
will be saved. The name will be automatically saved if
you press Enter or rotate the Select knob clockwise after
setting the eighth character. The preamplifier will display
“Saving Data” to indicate success.
• If you wish to exit without saving any changes, press Setup.
The preamplifier will display “RESTORING” to indicate
your edits were discarded and the name will remain as it
was before
Offset:
the output level of audio devices can vary between brands
and models, making some devices sound louder or quieter
than others. The Offset adjustment allows you to precisely
compensate for that variance, allowing all associated devices in
your system to output at a similar volume level.
The setting offers a range of –12.0dB to +12.0dB, in 0.1dB steps.
Whenever an input is selected, the preamp applies the setting
of the Offset parameter to the volume level of the outputs.
SSP:
the SSP setting configures the selected input for complete
integration with a multichannel surround sound processor. See
the SSP Setup section of this manual for more information.
(Note: The SSP setting is only available for analog inputs.)
THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE
DIGITAL INPUTS. (N
0
526 ONLY)
DSD Filter
: The DSD filter option is only available on the
USB digital input (D6) of the No. 526 and has selectable
values of 47 (default), 50, 60, and 70 KHz. Users can
experiment with different values to suit their preferences
when listening to DSD material through the USB input.
PCM Filter
: this setting lets you set the filter characteristic:
Fast
: this filter has a steep roll-off characteristic that
may be better suited when listening to electric or
electronic music
Slow
: this filter has a gradual roll-off characteristic that
is well suited to most types of music
Mphase: this is a minimum-phase filter that may be
better suited when listening to acoustic music
Although the above descriptions are offered as a guide,
feel free to set the PCM filter according to your own
tastes
Clari-Fi
: setting this option to ON activates HARMAN
Clari-Fi® music restoration technology for the selected
input. Clari-Fi analyzes compressed digital audio files
during playback and reconstructs what was lost in the
compression process. The Intensity control adjusts the
amount of reconstruction applied to the signal, and can
be applied according to your individual taste – there is no
“correct” amount.
PLL Lock
: this option selects between DAC DPLL
Bandwidth settings of Normal or Wide. Set to “Wide” if
you consistently experience dropouts or noise in the audio;
otherwise leave this setting at “Normal”.
+6dB Gain:
setting this option to ON adds +6dB gain to the
selected input for source components with low output voltage.
The following settings are available for the Phono input.
Phono Type:
this setting enables selection of moving-magnet
(MM) or moving-coil (MC) cartridge. For best performance be
sure to verify your phono cartridge type before adjusting these
settings.
R Load (Resistive Loading):
this option sets moving-coil (MC)
cartridges’ resistive loading between 20 and 47k ohms.
C Load (Capacitive Loading):
this option sets capacitive loading
between 50 and 680 pF for moving magnet (MM) cartridges.
Infrasonic Filter:
this option sets the infrasonic “rumble” filter
on or off.
Gain:
this option selects High, Medium, or Low gain for MC
cartridges.
Balance:
this option applies balance from L 3dB to R 3dB in 0.1
dB steps to the Phono input.
