Push the middle button inside the wheel on remoteNow that I think about it, and this is really weird, the DX3 Pro was playing yesterday with both Headphones and Line Out at the same time when I first installed and was trying the unit out. Can't get it to do so now. Must be doing something wrong - what is it? . . . NEVER MIND - I was able to get the flashing headphone icon on the panel by using the multi-function button on the unit itself (pushing twice several times it until cycles around to the correct output mode). The manual seems to indicate that you can do the same with the remote (pushing the HP and Line Out buttons at the same time), but my remote doesn't work that way -- does anyone else's? I'll leave this and my last post up just in case someone else runs into the same issue.
That's right , Thanks! Yeah, finally figured that out; I was reading the manual incorrectly. In fact, I was returning to the thread to correct my post. Thanks again.Push the middle button inside the wheel on remote
What do you need to know about them? They both work in digital domain. I like the DX3 Pro better because of much larger display.Just wondering if any of you have both the Su-8 and the DX3Pro and could comment on the volume control on both units when used as a preamp output
I want to use either in a home theatre setup using optical from the TV to a pair of bookshelf monitors via a powered sub (has both unbalanced rca and balanced inputs)
Currently running the audio from the headphone out socket on the tv which obviously gives volume control with the TV remote
The Input devices to the Tv are a PVR and Xbox
I am often listening to streamed music on both devices so volume control is a must
Thanks
Sorry. I didn't get you the last sentence. I'll illustrate what I know that's relevant.Do the included remote controls do a decent job from a few metres away ?
Not familiar with digital volume control, am I likely to get a wider volume range with the XLR outputs of the SU-8 compared to the RCA's on the DX3 ?
Would the digital volume control make the sound differ greatly to using the analog headphone out option on the DX3 ?
Cheers
Sorry. I didn't get you the last sentence. I'll illustrate what I know that's relevant.
1, su-8 has xlr output which is balanced, so if your receiver has xlr input the max volume will double using xlr vs rca(on both su-8 and dx3pro). But dx3pro only has rca output.
So:
SU-8 XLR around 4Vrms
SU-8 RCA around 2Vrms
DX3 RCA around 2Vrms
2, digital volume control of is in the very front. So both headphone out and rca output will be digital controlled. The knob is also the same digital volume control.
3, I don't use the remote, but I think it will work just make sure there isn't obstacles in between.
Rca to 6.35mm cable is good enough.Hello. Newbie here. I have just bought the dx3 pro, hopefully it will get in the next 30 days. I have a question for our expert Amirm: which cables should I use to connect my two jbl 305 (second version) to my dx3 pro?
@amirm
Thanks in advance
I suggest just search on eBay or Amazon since we may be in different countries. And I don't think signal cables make big difference. Just make sure it has proper shielding.Thank you @JohnYang1997. Can you recommend any brand?
Ok. How can I check that?I suggest just search on eBay or Amazon since we may be in different countries. And I don't think signal cables make big difference. Just make sure it has proper shielding.
