Specifically, after turning off the TV with the power button or remote control, both the TV and ZD3 may automatically power back on after a short time. If you are using an LG TV, we recommend disabling the HDMI-CEC function. They are working hard to resolve this issue.**   Specifications Chip Set: XMOS XU316 ESS 9039Q2M QCC3031 LME49720 Maximum Sampling Rate: USB: PCM 32bit/768kHz; DSD512 OPT/COAX: PCM 24bit/192kHz Bluetooth: PCM 24bit/48kHz Output Level: XLR: 5Vrms RCA: 2.5Vrms Input Mode:USB, HDMI (ARC), Coaxial, Optical, Bluetooth Output Mode: XLR, RCA SINAD: 126dB THD: ≥120dB THD N: <0.00008% Dynamic Range: ≥123dB Noise Floor: ≤2μV Bluetooth Version: 5.0 Bluetooth Connection Distance: ≥13m Bluetooth Transmission Audio Format: aptX HD, aptX, AAC, SBC Power Supply: DC 12V 1.5A USB Compatible Devices: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (Some require drivers; please refer to the user manual)Mac OS X, Linux (No driver required
