Owner`s manual

• Use the arrow button between the right channel and the master volume to toggle between
Channel View and Minimised View.
• Use the X button in the top right corner to minimize the exaSound e28 Dashboard window.
Power On/Off
• The e28 DAC has an automatic power-on function and it will turn itself on when playback is
detected.
• The e28 DAC automatically turns itself off after a period of inactivity. Use the Power Off
Timeout setting to adjust the inactivity time interval before shutdown.
Volume Control
The e28 DAC volume is controlled by the ES9018 DAC chip. It is completely independent from the
Windows software volume control and it preserves the maximum possible signal to noise ratio.
The volume level changes in steps of 0.5 dB. At first power on, the volume level is set to -40dB. When
the dashboard is closed it remembers the volume level settings.
Use the sliders on the exaSound e28 Dashboard window to control the volume for individual channels,
and the master volume. The sliders can be controlled in several ways:
• By left-clicking and dragging a slider
• By positioning the mouse cursor over a channel and turning the mouse wheel. When the mouse
cursor is rested over the channel area the background color changes to indicate that the channel
is active
• By selecting a channel with the mouse and using the Up and Down arrow keys on the keyboard
The master volume can also be controlled from the device front panel or using a remote control. When
the master volume level is changed, the value displayed on the exaSound e28 Dashboard and on the
device front panel display are synchronised.
Volume levels for individual channels can be controlled only from the exaSound e28 Dashboard.
The sound can be muted by clicking the Mute button under the master volume slider or by using the
remote control. Pressing or clicking Mute again restores the previous volume level. Pressing Volume Up
or Volume Down will cancel the mute state.
Make sure that your player application is configured to use the e28 DAC in ASIO mode (Configuration
instructions Foobar2000 and JRiver are available on the exaSound Blog:
