hear just how good their headphones can sound.
Music Support
Whether you’re dipping a toe into Hi-Res Audio, or a veteran user, expect stunning playback of most
music formats. The XDP-30R supports MP3, DSD 5.6 MHz decoding; plays FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AAC,
and AIFF at up to 192 kHz/32-bit; and is compatible with MQA following a future firmware update.
Selectable Hi-bit Upsampling converts lower-resolution files to 192 kHz/32-bit for a near-native Hi-Res
Audio experience. Lossless audio is expressed fluently, and the player is sympathetic to compressed
audio. Add TIDAL and TuneIn (other services to follow), and your musical horizons expand even further.
Premium Audio Build
Among the best-performing digital-to-analog converters available, the SABRE ES9018C2M is deployed in
twin configuration with twin SABRE ESS9601K amplifiers. Served by dedicated capacitors, each channel
is symmetrical to equalize signal paths. The design leads to transparent reproduction and yields
extraordinary levels of detail on a spacious soundstage. Be drawn into the music; sense each instrument
around you in three dimensional space.
Standard and Balanced Output Jacks
3.5 mm headphone jack for standard headphone use as well as a 2.5 mm headphone jack, to support
balanced headphones. The XDP-30R has 2 different balanced modes; Balanced (BTL) for improved
stereo separation and increased power for more demanding headphones and Active'Control'Ground
(ACG) for improved channel separation and a clean, detailed, noise free audio performance.
Two Clocks for Greater Precision
Clocking mechanisms synchronize the timing of data flowing between devices. The better the clock, the
better the sound. The XDP-30R has two clocks; one detects 44.1 kHz signals, scaling to 88.2 kHz/176.4
kHz, and the second handles 48 kHz signals and upsamples to a maximum 192 kHz. Detection is
automatic. The result is pure, jitter-free sound.
Personalized Audio Optimization
Different mixes, different masters, different styles... with the XDP-30R, you can shape a response that
satisfies without compromising fidelity. Three digital filters, Lock Range Adjust, and a 10-band EQ with
customizable presets are included. Together with selectable gain function, you can drive your
headphones to their max performance.
