2. Helstu eiginleikar

• Discrete R2R Ladder: Utilizes a discrete R2R module for direct digital signal conversion through a resistor ladder network, providing an organic sound.
• True 1-bit DSD Decoding: Native support for DSD1024, with a DIRECT DSD mode that bypasses PCM conversion for preserving micro-details and timing integrity.
• Smart Digital Filtering: Offers three filter modes (Linear Sharp, Minimum Slow, Super Slow) based on adaptive multi-order algorithms to reduce aliasing noise and enhance resolution.
• FPGA-Powered Control: A programmable FPGA manages clocking, PLL shaping, and signal routing for low jitter and stable synchronization.
• Precision OCXO Clocking: Features an SC-cut crystal OCXO clock for imperceptible jitter and accepts an external 10MHz clock input.
• Self-Developed Network Bridge: CelWare-based system optimized for audio playback, supporting Roon Bridge, AirPlay, HQPlayer NAA, UPnP/DLNA, Spotify Connect, MConnect, BubbleUPnP, and QQMusic.
• Class-A Analog Stage: Discrete Class-A low-pass filter stage for precise control of frequency response, harmonic character, and transient handling.
• Passive Relay Preamplíflegri: R2R relay-based volume control, allowing direct connection to powered monitors or power amplifiers, with a pure bypass mode.
• XMOS USB with Isolation: XMOS XU216 interface supporting PCM768k and DSD512, with independent voltage regulation and isolated channels for minimal interference.

3. Uppsetning

3.1. Upppakkning og innihald

Carefully unpack your Gustard R30 unit from its packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged. The package should contain:

• 1 x GUSTARD R30 Unit
• Power Cable (not explicitly listed but implied)
• Remote Control (implied by "Controller Support")
• Notendahandbók (þetta skjal)

3.2. Tengingar

Before connecting any cables, ensure the R30 unit is powered off. Refer to the back panel diagram for connection points.

Figure 3.1: Rear panel of the Gustard R30, showing various input and output ports, along with digital input specifications.

• Analog framleiðsla:
  • Tengdu þitt amplifier or powered speakers to the RCA framleiðsla (2.5Vrms) or XLR framleiðsla (5.1Vrms) ports. Ensure correct polarity for XLR (USA standard: 1 Ground, 2 Hot, 3 Cold).
• Stafrænt inntak:
  • LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port for network streaming (Roon, AirPlay, UPnP, NAA, Spotify). Supports 100/1000Mbps.
  • 10M Clock (BNC): For external clock synchronization, connect a 10MHz clock source to the BNC input. Input impedance 50 Ohm, 0dBm-20dBm. Supports CMOS square wave (0.2V-3.3V) and Sine wave (0.5V-3.3V).
  • USB: Connect your computer or digital audio source via the USB input (XMOS XU216 interface).
  • IIS: The R30 features two IIS inputs. Refer to Section 4.4 for IIS Pinout Configuration. Note: IIS is not standard HDMI. Do not connect to a regular HDMI port.
  • Other digital inputs include AES, Koaxial, og Ljósleiðari.
• Kraftur: Connect the supplied power cable to the AC power input (115V/230V 50/60Hz). Ensure the voltage switch (if present) is set correctly for your region.

3.3. Kveikt á

After all connections are secure, press the power switch on the rear panel or the standby switch on the front panel to turn on the R30. The display will illuminate, indicating the unit is operational.

The R30 features a fluid touch control interface on its front panel:

• Sýningarsvæði: Shows current input, sample rate, volume level, and other status information.
• Snertiviðmót: Provides intuitive control for navigating menus, changing inputs, and adjusting settings.
• Controller Receiver: For use with the included remote control.
• Biðstöðurofi: Toggles the unit between active and standby modes.

4.2. Network Streaming

Figure 4.2: Diagram illustrating the R30's self-developed network bridge system and its supported protocols, alongside details of the XMOS USB interface.

The R30's self-developed CelWare-based network bridge system supports various streaming protocols:

• Roon Bridge
• AirPlay
• HQPlayer NAA
• UPnP / DLNA
• Spotify Connect
• MConnect
• BubbleUPnP
• QQMusic

To configure network settings and update firmware, access the web interface by entering "http://r30.local" in your computer's browser.

4.3. Digital Filter Modes

The R30 offers three digital filter modes to tailor the sound to your preference:

• Linear Sharp: Provides a sharp roll-off with pre-ringing.
• Minimum Slow: Offers a slower roll-off with minimal pre-ringing.
• Super Slow: A very gentle roll-off, often preferred for a more natural sound.

These modes can be selected via the front panel controls or remote control.

4.4. Volume Control and Preamp Virkni

The R30 features a passive analog preamplifier with R2R relay-based volume control, offering a range of 0dB to -65dB. This allows you to connect the R30 directly to powered monitors or a power amplifier and control the volume remotely. You can also switch to a pure bypass mode if you prefer to use an external preamplíflegri.

4.5. IIS Pinout Configuration

Figure 4.3: Detailed diagrams of the R30's IIS pinout configurations (IIS-G and IIS(M*)) and the overall dimensions of the unit.

The R30 includes two IIS input interfaces:

• IIS(G): Adopts a fixed Gustard pinout protocol (non-adjustable). DSD playback requires a DSD FLAG signal from the source device.
• IIS(M*): Features adjustable pinout configuration. Its auto-detection capability for PCM and DSD encoding eliminates the need for FLAG signals.

Refer to Figure 4.3 for detailed pinout diagrams (MODE1, MODE2, MODE3, MODE4 for IIS(M*) and IIS-G). Mikilvægt: These IIS inputs are not standard HDMI. Do not connect them to regular HDMI ports on other devices.
