Remote control
Note:
- If the operation does not work even when the remote control is very close to the unit, please replace it with a new battery.
- If you do not want to use the remote control for a long time, please remove the batteries of the remote control.
- Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations for battery disposal.
- Please use 2 AAA batteries for the remote control.
- Remote control operating distance: 5-8 meters.
How to use Bluetooth:
- Connection: switch the input source to Bluetooth, turn on the Bluetooth function of the mobile phone, search “Loxjie D40 PRO”, and click Connect after searching. When the mobile phone displays “connected”, the connection is successful.

DPLL
-
dP0 ~ 9
(A total of 10 kinds, the default is 5 kinds. The larger the number is, the stronger the range to adapt to jitter, and the smaller the number, the better the performance against clock jitter.)
This DPLL setting is a special function of ESS series products. It can adjust the internal DPLL digital phase locked loop circuit Bandwidth, so that the chip achieves a balance between anti clock jitter and input tolerance.
Its function: -
When the clock stability of the input signal is good, this value can be reduced, so that the clock performance of the system is better;
-
When the clock stability of the input signal is not good, the sound may be interrupted.
Increase this value can avoid the sound interruption! Especially when using TV as signal source!
I² S setting：
| Normal phase, DSD is normal

| Inverted phase, DSD is normal
Note: This option is used to match different I2S interface standards,
please check the interface definition of the signal source before use

About MQA
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that
delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is
fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download. The D40 PRO
includes MQA technology, which enables you to playback MQA audio files and
streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.
Visit How it works https://www.mqa.co.uk/how-it-works for more information.
How to play MQA
D40 PRO supports MQA decoding with USB, optical fiber, coaxial and AES/EBU!
D40 PRO’s MQA playback does not require the use of special playback software,
such as foobar2000, Audirvanaplus only needs to support ASIO or WASAPI audio
output, and when playing MQA audio, it is best to adjust the volume of the
computer to the
maximum,so that the audio output of the computer is in the best condition.
When playing an MQA file, the sampling rate of the original master recording
is displayed.
and the Sound Wave Device are registered trade marks of MQA Limited.© 2016
Notes on playing MQA-CD
- Please make sure that what is being played is a genuine MQA-CD.
- Verify that the optical or coaxial signal output of the CD player is an unprocessed source code.

Power indicator, red when in standby, green when powered on and the display is off. -
MQA
The MQA LED glows green, blue or magenta to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to indicate it is playing an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been verified by the copyright owner. It glows magenta to indicate that the unit is rendering an MQA stream or file. This delivers the final unfold of the MQA file.
