Introduction

Inpursuitofoutstandingdigitaltoanalogaudioplayback,OPPOSonicaDACisequippedwithan

ES9038PRO32‐bitHyperStreamDACchip.AstheflagshipoftheESSSABREPROseries,theES9038PRO

setsnewbenchmarksforaudioperformance.SonicaDAC’spowercircuitryincludesalinearpower

regulatordrawingfromamassivetoroidalpowertransformer,whichprovidesaverycleanandrobust

powersupplytotheaudiocomponents.

SonicaDACcanbeusedasastandalonehigh‐performanceDAC,providingdigitalinputslikeOptical,

CoaxialandasynchronousUSBDACthatsupportPCMupto768kHz32‐bitandDSDupto22.5792MHz

(DSD512).

SonicaDACisalsoahighresolutionaudioplayerthatiscapableofdecodingupto24‐bit/192kHz

resolutionFLAC,WAVandAppleLosslessfiles,aswellasDSD64filesat64xsamplerate.Youcanalso

playmusicfilesfromUSBdrivesattachedtotheSonicaDAC,fromcomputersandserversconnectedvia

EthernetorWi‐Fi,orfromamobiledevicerunningtheSonicaapp.

AsamemberoftheSonicaWi‐Fispeakerfamily,SonicaDACisalsoamusicstreamer,allowingyouto

streammusicfromyoursmartphoneandtabletusingtheSonicaapp,AirPlay,orBluetooth.When

groupedwithSonicaWi‐Fispeakers,SonicaDACcanplaymusicstreamedtothespeakergroup,andyou

canalsoconnectanexistinganalogaudiosourcetothemulti‐roomspeakergroupusingSonicaDAC’s

AUXinput.

SonicaDACprovidesXLRbalancedandRCAstereooutputs.Theaudiooutputpathisfullybalancedfrom

theDACchipallthewaytotheXLRjacks.EventheRCAoutputsignalisderivedfromthebalanced

output.Thebalanceddesignprovidesbettercommon‐modenoiserejectionandimprovessignalquality.

Italsoprovidesbetterchannelseparationbyeliminatingthecommongroundreturnpath.Youcanset

eitheroutputtovolume‐controlledorbypass,allowingSonicaDACtobeconnectedtopreampsor

directlytopoweramplifiers.A12Vtriggerinputandoutputallowsyoutoturnonandofftheentire

audiosystemwithoneclick.



TriggerInput&Output

YoucanconnecttheTriggerOutputofSonicaDACtothetriggerinputofapreamplifierorpower

amplifierusinga3.5mmmono‐to‐monomini‐jackcable.WhenSonicaDACisturnedon,theTrigger

Outputwillsupplya+12Vvoltagesignaltoautomaticallyturnontheconnectedpre‐amplifierorpower

amplifier.TheTriggerOutputcansupplyupto100mAcurrent.

TheTriggerInputofSonicaDACcanbeconnectedtothetriggeroutputofanotherdeviceandSonica

DACwillturnonandofftogetherwiththeconnecteddevice.

TheuseofTriggerInput&Outputisnotrequired.YoucanalwaysmanuallyturnonoroffSonicaDAC

BasicOperations

PowerON/OFF

WhenSonicaDACisinitiallyconnectedtoACpower,itremainsinstandbymodeandthePowerStatus

Indicatorwillstayred.PressthePowerButtontoturniton.ThePowerStatusIndicatorwillturnblue

andtheOPPOlogowillappearonthescreen.

OncetheSonicaDACison,pressingthePowerButtonagainwillturnitoff.SonicaDACdoesnot

respondtonetworkstreamingrequestswhenitisoff.



SourceSelection

TheactiveinputsourcecanbeselectedbyrotatingtheSourceSelector/FunctionKnob.TheFront

PanelDisplaywillshowaSourceSelectionscreenwithfourinputsources:USBDAC,OPTICAL,COAXIAL,

andAUXIN.Thecurrentlyselectedinputsourceisindicatedbyacheckmark().RotatetheSource

Selector/FunctionKnobineitherdirectiontoselectanewinputsourceandpresstheSourceSelector

/FunctionKnobtoswitchtoyourselection.



InadditiontotheaboveinputsourcesthatareselectableusingtheSourceSelectorandFrontPanel

Display,SonicaDACalsosupportsadditionalmusicsourcessuchasnetworkstreaming,Bluetooth,

AirPlay,andUSBdiskdrives.TheseadditionalsourcesareselectedthroughtheSonicaappor

automaticallybyconnectingthedevices.WhiletheSonicaDACisplayingfromanyoftheadditional

musicsources,selectinganinputsourcebyrotatingtheSourceSelector/FunctionKnobwilloverride

theexistingsource.



VolumeControl

RotatingtheVolumeKnobclockwiseorcounter‐clockwisewillincreaseordecreasethevolumelevel.

Whenthevolumelevelisreducedtotheminimum,aMuteiconwillappearonthescreen.

Note:WhentheactiveinputsourceisinBypassmode,volumecontrolisdisabledandtheoutputwillbe

atthefullvolumelevel.SeeBypassModeintheSettingsandAdvancedOperationssectiononpage10
