Does anyone know what is the difference between the last two switch positions on the StageDAC for the "Mode" switch? Also, it is not very clear from the manual what the "Tonal Balance" switch does, other than the mention that it slightly increases the amplitude of frequencies near 2KHz.
For mode switch, the top position is headphone, middle position is stereo and bottom position is loudspeakers. They are the adjustment setting for cross feed. Tonal balance is some kind of frequency compensation to be used when in headphone mode. You can just play around that to see which setting you like.
On the other hand? How do you guys open up the chasis? The screws seemed to be drilled right in and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't unscrew any of them. Wanted to try deactivating the volume pot to see what SQ improvement it will bring. Meh!
