Hi I just received a use Stellar Gain Cell DAC, but I was wondering about the remote. The remote I got with the SGCD is bigger than my Perfectwave DSD remote, but has a few buttons that I would like more info on. What does the the DAC volume control do and what does the DAC LEVEL do ?
Thanks, Lonnie
Any chance you could take a picture? The DSD remote is the biggest we’ve ever made. I’m guessing it’s the silver one. The DAC volume controls the volume of the DSD DAC and the DAC level puts it in low attenuator or high attenuator. Neither will be relevant for your GDAC.
I have a Stellar Gain Cell DAC and my remote has no buttons labeled “DAC Volume” or “DAC Level.” It has standard volume up and down for all source circuits, but nothing specific to the DAC.
The Stellar Gain Cell DAC is a pre amp with integrated DAC, the volume button’s control the volume unless you decided to set the unit to set the SGCD to DAC only mode.
sorry to dive into an old thread but I’ve recently purchased some old shop floor stock, a DMP transport & a SGCD. I have the SGCD set to DAC mode feeding into a Rotel integrated amp. My question is when using headphones plugged into the SGCD how or can I control the headphones volume?
from the SGCD manual “Next up is the DAC Mode screen. This menu allows the user to enable just the line level output of the DAC by bypassing the Preamp. Rotate the Volume knob to enable or disable this setting. With this mode enabled, you will not be able to adjust the volume. The Stellar Gain Cell DAC will output at line level. You should only use this feature if you have a dedicated Preamp in your signal chain”
