Questions and answers

What inputs and outputs does the GR40 have?
Inputs are Bluetooth, USB, optical and coaxial. Outputs are RCA for active speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Does it need drivers on a computer?
No. USB is plug-and-play, and it decodes up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256 through the ES9028Q2M chip.
Can I connect a turntable to it?
No. There is no analog input, so a turntable would need its own phono preamp feeding a digital source instead.
What Bluetooth codecs does it support?
SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX LL. aptX LL keeps audio in sync when watching video.
Does it drive passive speakers?
No. The RCA output is a preamp-level signal, so it needs active speakers or a separate power amplifier.
What is the headphone priority mode?
When headphones are plugged in, the unit routes output to the 3.5mm jack so you can listen without unplugging the speakers.
