thanks. I think that would use the Daps processing which is not what I want. I want to bypass the sony dac. I have since discovered I cant. so I ordered an Astell and Kern. Thank you for your reply

Thanks TD

So difficult to find any useful information via internet search or manufacture websites anymore. I just ordered a Sony A307 to use as a digital transport to feed a highend dac in a home system, but I can’t find confirmation on this possibility one way or the other. Can I use the Sony 306 as a...

Hello all, Should I use a preamp with a headphone amp if I am using only one source? I use a PSAudio Direct Stream Sr. which, for example, can be used without a preamp, but it sounds 15% better with a pre, so I use it. I am going to purchase a QuickSilver headphone and am wondering...

Dsd files go to my ps audio direct stream as dsd not pcm. Dont know what to say about mqa...i dont really use it

I know this is a really old thread but I have a question please. I am getting a 30R in two days to use as a DSD Transport. The manual on line says that the "Output DSD" must be in the on position, but the manual doesn't say where it is? Any help is appreciated. T

FUNNY I was asking about the XDP 30R :-) :-)

Thank you that is very conscientious. I had read that in the online manual. I am planning on using it as a DSD Transport only. And at the risk of sounding like a complete nincompoop, By the Effects button do you mean the "Lineout" button"? and how do you know where it is before you turn it on...

Thanks Buddy !!

Where does one find the DSD Out on/off?
