It plays SACDs in true DSD, either as native DSD64 over I2S or as DoP over coaxial, optical, AES and BNC, and its FPGA-assisted I2S with ten pinout modes means it works with almost any I2S DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-onix-zenith-xst20-cd-transport-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791375728\" alt=\"ONIX Zenith XST20 high-end SACD transport\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-onix-zenith-xst20-cd-transport-photo-tiles.jpg?v=1791375733\" alt=\"ONIX Zenith XST20 features at a glance\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue DSD from SACD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany transports can’t send the DSD layer of an SACD to an external DAC.

There is no streaming, wireless or app, just the pure lossless quality of the disc. A top-loading HD870 drive with a traditional disc clamp, a built-in 45.1584MHz clock for precise data processing, and an ultra-clean power supply with a Talema 25VA toroidal iron-core transformer sit in a sturdy chassis CNC-machined from aluminium in the classic ONIX style, with gold details. A 3.4-inch touch screen gives direct access to the settings, and ONIX’s remote control is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-onix-zenith-xst20-cd-transport-photo-components.jpg?v=1791375746\" alt=\"Talema 25VA transformer and 45.1584MHz clock in the ONIX XST20\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eI2S\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD: PCM 44.1kHz · SACD: native DSD64 · 10 pinout modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoaxial, optical, BNC, AES\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD: PCM 44.1kHz · SACD: DSD64 via DoP or D2P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUSB\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD: PCM 44.1kHz (no SACD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiscs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD, single-layer SACD, multi-layer SACD, MQA-CD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive and power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHD870 top-loading drive · 45.1584MHz clock · Talema 25VA toroidal transformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eScreen\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.4-inch touch screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize and weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320 × 240 × 72mm (with base) · 5.2kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA transport has no DAC or analogue output.
