Digital inputs UPnP Network interface on an RJ45 connector streams music files from a NAS or
local computer using MinimServer over an Ethernet network. Supported file formats
are:
•
•
•
•
Supports TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Internet Radio and Podcasts via Airable.
The interface accepts audio data streamed from a suitable mobile device via Apple
AirPlay at 44.1 or 48kS/s.
The Network interface operates in Asynchronous mode.
USB1 interface on a B-type connector will accept up to 24-bit PCM at:
•
•
•
The USB1 interface operates in Asynchronous USB mode.
USB2 interface on A-type connector, streams audio files from a USB flash drive up
to 24-bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or 384kS/s or DSD/64 or
DSD/128. Compatible formats are listed in the UPnP Network interface section
above.
Maximum power delivery is 2.1 A at 5 V DC.
The USB2 interface operates in Asynchronous USB mode.
2x AES/EBU on 3-pin female XLR connectors.
Each input will accept up to 24-bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s or
DSD/64 in DoP format. As a Dual AES pair: at 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 or
384kS/s or dCS-encrypted DSD or DSD/64 & DSD/128 in DoP format.
2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each will accept up to 24-bit
PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s or DSD/64 in DoP format.
1x SPDIF optical on a Toslink connector, will accept up to 24-bit PCM at 44.1, 48,

Clocking 2x Word Clock Inputs on 2x BNC connectors, accept standard word clock at 44.1,
48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kHz. The data rate can be the same as the clock rate or an
exact multiple (0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) of the clock rate. Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. In Master mode, a TTL-compatible word
clock appears on this output, not temperature compensated. The word clock
frequency is either 44.1 or 48kHz, depending in the incoming data rate.
MQA Full decoding and rendering of MQA data from the Network and USB2 inputs. Final
rendering of unfolded MQA data only from the other inputs.
