Memory

In Resolution Enhancement mode, 518 maintains a continuous memory of the DSP, Dither, Gain, In and Out settings for each source.

So, if you had determined that, e.g. CD should always use Gain 0dB but that Radio could always use Emphasis and +2dB, then 518 will remember these and automatically reconfigure itself for each source.

DSP

In addition to the DSP modes offered in Control Unit (see page 15),

Resolution Enhancement adds Bypass.

Bypass transmits all 24 bits on the input to the output without any processing.

Note When Bypass is chosen, all the other front panel keys are disabled.
