Does the AXN10 have pre-amp or volume control?
The AXN10 does not have a ‘pre-amp’ mode and it is not possible to control the volume of the unit, as it outputs a fixed volume level.
You will need to control the volume of the AXN10 via your connected amplifier or DAC.
Does the AXN10 have a remote control?
The AXN10 does not have a remote control. The unit can be controlled and the settings can be adjusted via the StreamMagic app.
Can the AXN10 support MQA content?
Although the AXN10 can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the
AXN10 does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files.
There are no plans to integrate MQA support into the AXN10, as this would require a hardware modification to install a Full MQA Decoder.
How do I set up my AXN10 with a DacMagic 200M for MQA passthrough?
Although the AXN10 can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the
AXN10 does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files.
It is, however, possible to bypass the DAC in the AXN10, and have the MQA file processed by an external DAC that supports MQA, such as the
. This will allow the full unfold of the MQA file to take place in the DacMagic 200M, and you will still be able to control and queue
your MQA files via the AXN10.
Please follow the below instructions on how to how to set this up:
1. Connect either of the Digital Outputs (SP/DIF Coaxial or Toslink Optical) of the AXN10 to the corresponding DacMagic 200M Digital Input (D1 or
D2).
2. Connect the Balanced or Unbalanced Output of DacMagic 200M to your amplifier.
3. Select the relevant D1/D2 Input on your DacMagic 200M.
4. Open the TIDAL app 'Settings' on your smartphone or tablet, and confirm that the streaming quality is set to ‘Master’.
5. Select the AXN10 within the TIDAL Connect menu as your output device.
6. Processing of the MQA files will now be passed through to the DacMagic 200M, and MQA playback should be indicated on the DacMagic 200M by
the relevant LED light.
Can I use more than one of the AXN10’s outputs at once?
If you wish to connect the AXN10 to one single device, you can use any output, digital or analogue, that you wish.
If, however, you would like to connect the AXN10 to more than one device at a time, you can connect up to three devices and play simultaneously,
as all outputs remain active at all times.
Please note, however, that as the AXN10 does not contain a volume control, you will need to ensure that the devices connected to the player have
their own volume control.
