Coaxial Digital Input
Connect your coaxial digital sources to either COAX1 or COAX2.
Optical Digital Input
Connect your optical digital sources to either OPT1 or OPT2.
Digital Output
Connect your DAC or amplifier to D7 via coaxial/optical output
Balanced Output
Balanced connections can provide greater dynamic range
and lower noise. If your amplifier has balanced inputs, please
connect them to the balanced outputs. You will need one XLR
balanced cable per channel.
Page 08
Bluetooth Connection
Select BT source on the D7, on your mobile device search for
'Audiolab D7 BT' and connect. Once paired, it will show
“Connected”.
If you switch to another input on the D7, your mobile device
will be disconnected after 60 seconds. To reconnect, select BT
on the D7, and it will connect to the last paired device or
select 'Audiolab D7 BT' on your mobile device in the
Bluetooth menu, and it will reconnect.
You can disconnect your mobile device by long pressing the
Play/Pause button on the remote control.
USB Update
Copy the update file onto a USB key, following the
instructions included in the update package.
Plug the USB key into the update port.
Enter the menu by pressing the 'SEL' knob, or 'Menu' button
on remote control. Go to the 'Update' option, select 'Yes' and
confirm.
Unbalanced Output
Connect your amplifier to the unbalanced RCA outputs using
a shielded stereo RCA cable.
Headphone Output
A stereo 6.3mm (1/4”) jack is provided on the front panel for
connecting headphones. When headphones are connected
the audio to the XLR and RCA outputs will be muted.
Your D7 will then upgrade automatically.
Once completed, unplug the USB key and restart the device.
12V Trigger Connection
The trigger connections are made using 3.5 to 3.5mm mono
or stereo jack interconnects (not included).

Filter
The ESS ES9038Q2M SABRE DAC
settings allow for detailed tuning of the
audio experience.
The DAC reconstruction filter is a critical
aspect of refining the sound of a system
that depends on listening taste,
program material, and equipment
set-up. Linear Phase (Slow Roll-Off) is
the default setting.
• Linear (Fast): This is the most common filter with clean overall suppression and
excellent rejection, best for music with large transients. Provides crisp clean highs.
• Linear (Slow): A low group delay and symmetrical input response with less
ringing than ‘Linear-phase fast roll-off’. It offers punchier bass than ‘Linear-phase
fast roll-off’ with clean highs. (Default)
• Minimum (Fast): This offers minimal pre-ringing. It is usually preferred for
imaging and sound stages. It offers no aliasing in the frequency domain and
stronger bass than ‘Linear Phase’, with clean highs.
• Minimum (Slow): A Non-Symmetrical filter designed to minimise pre-ringing. It
offers a strong punchy bass with a good transient attack.
• Hybrid: This is the combination of ‘Linear-phase’ and ‘Minimum-phase’. It offers
a fast transient attack, strong punchy bass and crisp highs.
MQA Decoding
Page 09
This mode is best for those streaming MQA and using the analogue outputs, or for
streaming PCM (FLAC, WAV etc.) and using either analogue or digital outputs.
• Full Decode B (PCM Upsampling On) - this enables the full internal MQA
decoding process of the D7, and upsamples both MQA and PCM to 352.8kHz or
384kHz.
This mode is for use with the analogue outputs only. The SPDIF outputs (COAX and
OPTICAL) are disabled.
• Core Decode - this option is suitable for users connecting D7 to a 3rd party
external MQA renderer via SPDIF, up to a sample rate of 192kHz.
• Passthrough Mode - this will bypass the MQA decoding stage in the D7 and
allow the full non-decoded signal to pass through the D7 via the digital outputs.
This mode is suited to users who prefer to use a separate DAC within their system
(for example, when using the D7 with the Audiolab 7000A). The MQA decoding will
therefore happen at the external DAC stage, not within the D7.
Default setting is Full Decode A (PCM Upsampling OFF).
DPLL
This setting is used for changing the bandwidth of the digital phase lock loop of the
D/A converter to accommodate different levels of jitter on the incoming SPDIF
signal. 'Normal' mode should be selected for signals with low jitter, while 'Wide'
mode should be selected for signals with abnormal jitter.
For best audio quality leave this setting at the default value, 'Normal', only use
'Wide' for a given input if the system is having problems locking onto the source.
There are four MQA decoding options:
• Full Decode A (PCM Upsampling Off) -
This enables the full internal MQA
decoding process of the D7, and
simultaneously enables PCM streaming
via SPDIF (COAX or OPTICAL) up to
192kHz. The SPDIF outputs will be
switched off when MQA decoding is
taking place, or if the PCM stream
sample rate is above 192kHz.

Balance
Adjust the Left and Right balance of the
D7 audio output.
Power On Limit
Power On Limit sets the maximum
volume level as the unit is switched on.
When coming out of standby, the
volume setting will be set to the level
that was used at the end of the previous
operating session, or to the Power On
Limit value set in this menu, whichever
is lowest.
This will avoid a sudden loud signal at
the beginning of a new session. Default
setting is -20dB.
Pre Out level
The analogue output level can be
switched between 'Fixed' and 'Adjustable'.
When set to 'Fixed' mode, the analogue
output level will be fixed to the maximum
output. This can be useful when
connecting to an integrated amplifier's
AUX input, and therefore using the
integrated amplifier's volume control.
Page 10
Brightness
Adjust the brightness of the D7 front
panel display.
Trigger
Activate or deactivate the 12V trigger
function of the D7.
Auto Standby
The auto-standby feature will put the D7
into standby mode after 20 minutes of
inactivity. This feature can also be
user-defined, and set to 20 minutes, 60
minutes or ‘Never’. The latter option
means that the D7 will not enter standby
mode without user instruction by way of
the front panel ‘standby’ button or
remote control ‘standby’ button.
When set to 'Adjustable', the D7 Volume control is used to adjust the level of the
analogue output. This is required when connecting directly to a power amplifier.
The default setting on the D7 is 'Adjustable'.
