Please use caution when connecting your
ALO audio Pilot to a new audio source.
Begin with the lowest volume setting and
slowly raise it to a comfortable listening
level. There are a lot of devices with
USB-c audio output capabilities. But what
their power and output are precisely is
beyond what we can cover in this manual.
So always error on the side of caution when
it comes to the starting listening volume
with your device, and you'll be able to
enjoy your Pilot with a range of products
and in many different circumstances.
The Pilot utilizes the excellent ESS Sabre
DAC 9281CPRO with MQA support. This DAC
chip provides support for the two-step MQA'
unfolding' process; Core Decoding (support-
ed via DSP) and Rendering (supported via
DAC). Pilot's use of this chip enables you
to unlock and enjoy the very best of your
MQA source.
