is there a manual for this online? I just ordered one from Japan.

In english. The one I just found is in Japanese, I think.

Not that I've been able to find, have translated it using software helps a little but not enough, if you want a copy let me know.

OK my xpa700 arrived. Of course directions are in Japanese. Question, do I flip the switch on the bottom to "charge" when I'm charging the amp, or is that for when I'm using the amp to charge something else? Also, my lights aren't coming on on the side for
The bit rate

the bit rate led goes off when the input bitrate is 16-bit, red when it is 24 and green when it is 32.

Thanks, what about the charge switch on the bottom? Do I flip it to charge when I'm charging or to charge something with the amp?

if you set it to on, the Unit's battery starts getting charged, off disables charging.

From my xdp100 to my xpa700, tidal won't work, no sound. Music player and onkyo music works but not tidal

Finally got everything working from my xdp100 to my xpa700. Sounds very nice, like the xdp100, but with more warmth and bass. The batteries in these pioneer units aren't very good. I want to get some balanced cables for either my flc8s or JVC fx850s. Which would be the better choice?

Do you need apple camera adaptor to contact pioneer xpa 700 micro usb in order to get up sampling or just use lightning cable to usb to pioneer?

 

[talan7]

Only the usb cables that came with the xpa700 and the one that came with the xdp100r works. None of my others work. I had to use the camera kit for lightning.

Picked up the van nuys case to go with my dap. Also picked up the XPA700 (open box for $200) and the van nuys case for that as well. I ordered the cases and amp from Amazon Japan using Tenso. Wasn't the pain in the ass I thought it would be. I'll be ordering from Japan a lot more in the future.
 
The XPA700 sounds like the dap but with much more impact. The bass is much better. It's really heavy and sturdy. I really wanted it for the balanced out, most likely for either my JVC FX850s or FLC8s. The amp powers my HD650 to just pass loud enough. Would balanced cable for HD650 be louder? The battery life in these pioneer units is atrocious.

Just the lightning cable and any iDevice will work. No adaptors necessary

 

[talan7]

Is anyone using a balanced adapter cable to their regular cables for the XPA or does the entire cable need to be balanced? I was thinking of getting this, female 3.5 to RSA/ALO balanced. I think that will work with the xpa700. Will this sound as good as replacing with a new cable terminated with RSA/ALO balanced.

Ok I called moon audio. They said that the balanced adapter cable needs to be used with balanced headphone cables even though it's rsa/alo one end to female 3.5 on the other end. I thought just plugging in a male 3.5 would be ok. They said one channel would short and that the website is configured to allow practically any configuration from end to end. Weird
