  • 1 × Optical
  • 1 × Coaxial
  • 1 × I2S

Supported Formats (Input dependent)

Input PCM DSD
USB 44.1 kHz – 768 kHz DSD64 – DSD256
Optical 44.1 kHz – 192 kHz DSD64 via DoP only
Coaxial 44.1 kHz – 192 kHz DSD64 via DoP only
I2S 44.1 kHz – 768 kHz DSD64 – DSD256

Digital Playback Control

Supports native DSD 1-bit processing and an integrated sampling rate converter, giving users full control over PCM and DSD playback behavior.

Resampling Options

  • PCM: 1×, 2×, 4×, 8×, 16× (up to 768 kHz / 705.6 kHz)
  • DSD: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512 (Only available in DSD native mode)
Note: In DSD Native mode, a brief popping sound may occur when switching between PCM/DSD or DSD tracks with different rates. For mixed sampling rate playback, DSD Multibit mode is recommended.

Notes

  1. Colours vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
  2. Size and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
  3. Specification evaluated using an Audio Precision APx Analyzer under PCM 192 kHz with 1 kHz, A-weighted, USB input, balanced XLR preamp output; headphone output high gain into 32 Ω at maximum volume, A-weighted conditions.
  4. See manufacturer warranty policy for details.
