In terms of connectivity, the player includes both balanced XLR outputs and unbalanced RCA outputs, enabling users to connect it to high-end audio systems for optimal results. The incorporation of advanced digital-to-analog converters contributes to the exceptional sound quality the player is renowned for, delivering breathtaking audio performance across various genres of music.
