What is the name for the balanced headphone output from the XPA-700? 
Is it the RSA/ALO balanced connector?
 
Thanks in advance!

I just got my XPA700, connected to my laptop, it didn't work. It seems that this device does not compatible with Windows 10 ----- on device manager, the XPA-700(usb audio device) marked with a yellow exclamation mark. Anyone has same problem? I can't find the driver for win10 on official site.

Looking forward to your impressions of the product! Planning to get 1 too.
It's not available for sale in my country so this is my only source of info regarding the amp's performance!

  So does this work with Android?  Thanks.

I think it doesn't. I read on the Japanese Pioneer website the FAQ section about this device, using the Google translator. It says the USB connection is not compatible with Android, only iOS and Windows. You can only make this device work with Android through the analogue cable, I'm not 100% sure though. There isn't very much info on this device on the web.

I just picked one up today. It works with Windows 10 x64 using the official Win 8.1 driver available here:

It also works with the Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6. My friend tried it with his OnePlus One and it worked as well.

Does it work with Samsung Galaxy through the analogue output or the digital one? I believed the USB cable of this device was not Android compatible.

Digital. I used an OTG adaptor with a normal micro usb cable. I'll order a micro usb OTG cable soon.

All the phones were running stock firmware.


So does it sound good? Do you have something else to compare to? Like a fiio?


I've only got a Musiland MD-10 and Supermacro III unfortunately. I'm still in Japan so haven't been able to do a comparison.
