2.2. True 1-bit DSD Decoding

The R30 supports native DSD1024 resolution through its true 1-bit DSD DAC architecture. In DIRECT mode, DSD signals are processed without PCM conversion, preserving the original digital stream for authentic playback.

2.3. Versatile Digital Inputs

The device offers multiple digital input options, including USB, LAN, Optical, Coaxial, AES, and IIS. USB, LAN, and AES inputs support audio decoding up to PCM 32Bit/768kHz and DSD512, allowing connection to various source devices.

2.4. Flexible Analog Outputs

Analog audio outputs are provided via RCA and XLR connections, facilitating integration with power amplifiers, active speakers, and other Hi-Fi audio equipment.

2.5. GCLK-02 Clock Module and External Clock Support

The integrated GCLK-02 clock module utilizes advanced PLL technology for precise clock signal processing. The R30 also supports external 10MHz clock input for further enhancement of audio quality.
