R2R Volume Control Circuit
A fully balanced analogue volume adjustment network composed of precision resistors and relays achieves accurate volume control, effectively suppressing distortion and noise in the analogue signal. It also features volume protection, automatically reducing excessive volume to the designated safe level during startup or input interface switching. The incorporation of R2R analogue volume control ensures that the DAC can operate at its optimal state continuously.

HDMI-IIS Output
DMP-A8 outfits IIS output, which can connect to DACs with IIS input. The mute levels of different DACs' IIS signals vary, MUTE PIN can be switched by settings. Supporting PCM 768K DSD512 with the highest sampling rate.

HDMI ARC
The DMP-A8, is equipped with HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input, can be connected to display devices such as TVs and projectors that have HDMI ARC capability. This allows the separation and transfer of audio signals from the HDMI signal to the DMP-A8, providing the TV with a higher quality sound.
