Sonica App
The Sonica app is a free smartphone and tablet app controller for the OPPO Sonica family of products. It
enables you to play music stored on your mobile device, from a supported music streaming service (e.g.,
TIDAL), from a media server on your home network, or from a USB drive plugged into the USB port of
the Sonica DAC. With the Sonica app, you are in complete control, and can choose what music to play
and what device to play from.
The Minimum OS requirements for the Sonica app are Android 4.0 or iOS 8.0. The minimum OS
requirements for the USB DAC are Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Availability and
performance of certain features, services and applications are device‐ and network‐dependent and may
not be available in all areas. AirPlay works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 4.3.3 or later, Mac
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and Macs and PCs with iTunes 10.2.2 or later.
Output Connections
Sonica DAC offers both RCA and XLR Balanced outputs. The output level is controlled by the Volume
Knob. You can bypass the volume control if your setup requires a fixed level output. See Bypass Mode in
the Settings and Advanced Operations section on page 10 for detailed instructions.
RCA Stereo Audio Output
RCA is the most common analog audio connection. If your pre‐amplifier, power amplifier, or active
speakers offer RCA analog inputs, you may use a pair of RCA audio interconnect cables to connect the
Sonica DAC's RCA Stereo Audio Output to the RCA input of your device.
