Hardware Volume Control and Volume Bypass
The e28 DAC volume is controlled by the ES9018 DAC chip. It is completely independent from the
Windows software volume control. Audio data is always bitstreamed over the USB interface at full scale
0db/32bit resolution. Volume processing is performed by the DAC chip right at the border between the
digital and the analogue domains. This architecture offers signal to noise ratio comparable to the best
analogue volume controls and virtually no loss of digital resolution. Setting the volume to 0dB turns all
volume processing off and sets the device in volume bypass mode.
Volume Control Integration with JRiver/JRemote
The exaSound Volume Synchronization Plug-in allows JRiver 20 for Windows and JRemote to access the
hardware volume control built in all exaSound DACs.
