Controls de pantalla i panell

The R30 utilizes a large OLED display for real-time status monitoring and functional operations. The diagram below illustrates the main interface display states.

1. Pantalla OLED

The display shows the input channel, external clock indication, encoding format, sampling rate, and volume.

2. Input Channel Selection

The R30 features 7 input channels. On the main interface, each press of the Gear Button cycles through available channels in this sequence: COAX → AES → OPT → USB → STREAMER → IIS(G) → IIS(M*).

***Note: IIS(G) is for fixed Gustard pinout configuration and cannot be adjusted. IIS(M*) supports adjustable pinout configuration.

3. Ajust de volum

• When the main interface is displayed, pressing the "+" or "-" buttons directly adjusts the analog volume attenuation function of the passive preamplifier. Attenuation ranges from 0dB to -63.5dB (total 63.5dB attenuation).
• Pressing "+" at 0dB activates Fixed Output mode (bypassing attenuation circuit), displaying 'FIXED' indicator.
• When 'FIXED' is displayed, pressing "-" first exits bypass mode before controlling the attenuation level.

Menú de configuració

On the main screen, long press the Gear Button to enter the settings menu (hereinafter referred to as the menu button). In this state, the menu button can sequentially switch the menu items to be modified. "+" and "-" buttons are used to adjust the currently selected menu options. When the screen is in the settings menu, long press the menu button again to return to the main screen.

Funcions del menú

Accediu al menú prement el botó Menú a la interfície principal. Cada opció del menú es detalla a continuació.

1. PCM FILTER (PCM Digital Filter Adjustment)

The R30 employs a self-developed high-performance PCM oversampling digital filter module with three filter types:

• VIVID (Default): Similar to the FAST roll-off type of traditional digital filter, but with better ringing characteristics, very small pre-ringing, and fast convergence post-ringing. It aims for a broad soundstage and sound restoration. Recommended for most music styles.
• GENTLE: Similar to the SLOW roll-off type of traditional digital filter, offering a soft listening experience.
• COMPOSIT: A hybrid digital filter, balancing characteristics between Vivid and Gentle for a good listening experience.

2. DSD FILTER (DSD Digital Filter Adjustment)

El filtre DSD té 4 opcions d'amplada de banda integrades: 47K (Default), 50K, 60K, 70K.

3. MODE NOS (Sense Overs)ampling Filter Mode)

When enabled, the PCM signal bypasses the oversampling filter entirely, decoded straight through the R-2R decoder module. This preserves micro-details and timing integrity. When enabled, there may be a slight clicking sound when the playback data format switches between PCM and DSD.

• DISABLE (Default)
• HABILITA

4. REF CLOCK (Reference Clock Selection)

The GUSTARD-K2, low-noise clock synthesizer, achieves ultra-low jitter performance. The R30 offers two clock options:

• INTERNAL (Default): Uses the built-in OCXO internal reference.
• EXT. 10MHz: Selects an external 10MHz reference source. It is recommended to connect to GUSTARD C16 or C18 reference 10M master clocks.

If the external clock is lost, powered off, or its frequency deviation is greater than +/-150ppm, "EXT ERR" will be displayed and flash.

5. IIS MODE (IIS Pinout Mode Selection)

The R30 features two IIS input interfaces:

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

IIS(M*) adjustable Pinout mode IIS input has four Pinouts: MODE1 (Default), MODE2, MODE3, MODE4. MODE1 is compatible with the GUSTARD mode. If you are connecting to a GUSTARD front end such as U12, U16, U18, S16, S26, etc., you can match them with MODE1, which is the former works in the Gustard output mode.

Please do not connect to the usual HDMI, this is not really HDMI.

6. PHASE (Phase Setting)

This function offers two options:

• NON-inverted (Default): When non-inverted, the RCA output of R30 is normal phase, and the XLR balanced output is American standard polarity output (1 ground, 2 hot, 3 cold).
• Invertit: When inverted, only the RCA output is reverse phase, and the XLR balanced output is Japanese/European standard polarity output (1 ground, 2 cold, 3 hot).

7. TRIGGER CH. (Linkage Trigger Start Channel Selection)

The R30 can be triggered by an external 12V linkage signal and automatically turn on from standby mode. When the 12V trigger signal ceases or drops to 0V, automatic standby activation occurs. When the R30 is working, it is switched to the input channel of this setting by the 12V trigger linkage signal.

• LAST (Default): The input channel that was in use before entering standby last time.
• Other options include COAX, AES, OPT, USB, STREAMER, IIS(G), IIS. Selecting any channel activates it upon receiving a 12V trigger signal.

8. TRIGGER VOL. (Link Trigger Boot Volume Selection)

The R30 can be powered on from standby via an external 12V trigger signal and automatically set to the selected volume level. Alternatively, during operation, a 12V trigger signal switches the output to the preset volume. This option configures the output volume after trigger activation.

• LAST (Default): The volume used before entering standby.
• FIXAT: Fixed full-scale output bypassing attenuation.
• -20 dB: Output at a volume attenuated to -20dB.
• -30 dB: Output at a volume attenuated to -30dB.
• -40 dB: Output at a volume attenuated to -40dB.

9. DISPLAY (Screen Brightness Settings)

Long-term high-brightness use of OLED screens can cause screen burn-in or ghosting. Therefore, the R30 is designed to always select automatic screen off, or manually select automatic screen off, which can also reduce interference.

• AUTO (Default): Automatically reduce brightness.
• APAGAT AUTOMÀTIC: Automatically turn off the screen.

Inici ràpid del Streamer de pont de xarxa

After connecting R30's RJ45 port to your local network:

1. Select the STREAMER channel and await system boot (approximately 1 minute, until "DSD 24.5MHz" appears).
2. Access R30's configuration page via: http://R30.local (as shown below). Disable unused streaming protocols on the web interfície per maximitzar l'eficiència del sistema. Les actualitzacions de firmware també es realitzen aquí.

(Operació mòbil/tauleta pendent fins al llançament de l'aplicació dedicada)

You can turn off streaming protocols that are not frequently used through the web page to maximize system music playback performance. At the same time, the online upgrade of the Streamer is also operated on the web pàgina.
