Basic Operations
Power ON/OFF
When Sonica DAC is initially connected to AC power, it remains in standby mode and the Power Status
Indicator will stay red. Press the Power Button to turn it on. The Power Status Indicator will turn blue
and the OPPO logo will appear on the screen.
Once the Sonica DAC is on, pressing the Power Button again will turn it off. Sonica DAC does not
respond to network streaming requests when it is off.
Source Selection
The active input source can be selected by rotating the Source Selector / Function Knob. The Front
Panel Display will show a Source Selection screen with four input sources: USB DAC, OPTICAL, COAXIAL,
and AUX IN. The currently selected input source is indicated by a check mark (). Rotate the Source
Selector / Function Knob in either direction to select a new input source and press the Source Selector
/ Function Knob to switch to your selection.
In addition to the above input sources that are selectable using the Source Selector and Front Panel
Display, Sonica DAC also supports additional music sources such as network streaming, Bluetooth,
AirPlay, and USB disk drives. These additional sources are selected through the Sonica app or
automatically by connecting the devices. While the Sonica DAC is playing from any of the additional
music sources, selecting an input source by rotating the Source Selector / Function Knob will override
the existing source.
