There are 5 different filters built in the KA15 for your preference. Filters are the sound effects born with the chip, which only has slight adjustments for the sound. Here are some introductions to some filters. These are only for reference since actual listening also has something to do with the matched device.
1.Minimum phase fast roll-off filter: neutral, medium reverb, sound thicker, partial midrange, thick warm, suitable for vocals and slower tempo music;
2.Fast roll-off, Phase-compensated filter: neutral, a small amount of reverb, restored to the natural sound, neutral tone, suitable for natural and fast music with strong sense;
3.Minimum phase slow roll-off filter: neutral, a small amount of reverb, warmer sound, more mid-range, large soundstage, suitable for orchestral and other large compositions music;
4.Slow roll-off, Phase-compensated filter: sharp, a small amount of reverb, restored to the original sound, neutral tone, detailed, suitable for favoring monitor style;
5.Non over-sampling filter: sampling rate equal to the signal frequency, with no oversampling of the signal.
2. EQ mode: EQ curve setting

5. DAC mode: DAC output mode setting, including ClassH and ClassAB DAC output modes
CLASS H and CLASS AB are two modes of operation of the driver within the DAC chip. The main difference is that the quiescent current of the device is somewhat different. In CLASS H mode, the quiescent current of the device will be a little lower than the CLASS AB mode, and other parameters are almost the same.
6. Channel balance: Left/Right channel output balance setting, 12 levels adjustable
7. Mic: In-line microphone switch. After disabling this option, the in-line control function in the headphone will not take effect. This setting is mainly to adapt our ASIO driver. Since the driver does not support bi-directional clock, when using the 4-pins in-line remote headphone, the output will not work properly with the driver on the computer. This setting can be used to disable the microphone and the in-line control function, in order to adapt the ASIO driver on the computer.
8. Coaxial output: SPDIF switch. After the SPDIF mode is enabled, you will get the SPDIF signal through the 3.5mm port with an adapter cable (purchased separately). Please keep this option disabled when using the analog output, such as when outputting to headphones.
