Tested Audio: Our Ascilab C8C Order Has Arrived

Does the Hypex Fusion Amp wake up with optical signal?

Also, does it accept optical input on the primary speaker and then coaxial pass-through to the secondary speaker? Are there any jitter concern with that situation?

Optical to Spdif daisy chain is possible by setting Master/Slave function.

If you want to use digital signal, you’d better use “Low Power” mode. It consumes more current than standby mode, but it makes the speaker wake up by digital signal too.

We set the standby mode on after 60mins without any signal. That’s the default setting. You can change the time or on and off.

Is it possible to disable the front LED once bootup is complete? I don't see that option in HFD, only fim/off for standby

Spent some time today with the Hypex software. Maybe it’s great for equalization but the device software is not at all intuitive. After 90 minutes of futzing it did not work to enable standby on RCA though the manual says it should. I will take another crack at it by changing the sensitivity setting later.

FYI I found the manual here:

There is no option to turn off the LED.

There is no option to turn off the LED.

Not even wire cutters?

I usually deal with too bright LED lights with something like this. Some are stronger than others, it's usually much easier with black products
They are also removable
