Details
Controls: Front panel; app/web control for streaming
I/O: 10 digital inputs (4x HDMI, 2x USB, AES/EBU, S/PDIF RCA, S/PDIF BNC, Toslink) plus network streaming input; analog outputs XLR (4V) and RCA (2V)
Notable use: DAC/streamer hybrid supporting Tidal, Qobuz, Roon, Internet Radio, USB/NAS playback, DSD up to DSD-256 (x4)
Notes: SCOPE FLAG: this unit merges a network streamer (hi-fi source component, normally out-of-scope) with a DAC; included because DAC function is primary and explicitly in-scope per task instructions, but the built-in streaming/Tidal/Qobuz/Roon functionality is a hi-fi-source feature - flagged as a hybrid judgment call. Noise floor -134dB RCA/-140dB XLR.
