Note: For playback from a USB drive or a DLNA server, music files with PCM sample rates up to 24‐bit /
192 kHz and DSD64 in DSF or DFF formats are supported. Not all file formats are supported by all DLNA
servers, so experience may vary based on the hardware and software in use. The full original resolution
is retained during playback if Sonica DAC is not grouped together with any other Sonica products for
multi‐room streaming. If Sonica DAC is grouped with other Sonica speakers for multi‐room streaming,
music will be down‐sampled to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz in order to meet the bandwidth limitations of the
network.
Using Sonica DAC for Music Streaming
Music Streaming via Network, AirPlay, and DLNA
Once Sonica DAC is connected to the network, you can use the Sonica app to play music stored on your
mobile device, from a supported music streaming service, or from a media server on your home
network. Sonica DAC also supports AirPlay and DLNA streaming when your mobile device is on the same
network.
To use AirPlay, start playing a song from your local music library or music streaming app on your iOS
device, tap the AirPlay button in the iOS Control Center, and select the Sonica DAC to begin streaming.
To use DLNA, open an app that is DLNA compliant, start playing a song in the app and select Sonica DAC
to begin casting. DLNA casting support will vary for different devices and apps.
