SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Universal player must output DSD64 and up to 24/192 PCM via HDMI (see confirmed compatible players below). If there is only one HDMI output on the universal player, use the HDMI OUT on the D.BOB to pass through video to a monitor or TV.
- External DAC must accept DSD via the DoP protocol through S/PDIF Coax (preferable) or Toslink inputs (see confirmed compatible players below). The D.BOB does not have a USB output.
- Premium high speed HDMI, Toslink, and Coax cables are highly recommended.
