Connectivity is also very careful, with, in the digital field, three coaxial and three optical inputs, a PC-USB input with support for DSD256, Bluetooth compatible aptX HD\/AAC and an HDMI eARC socket to facilitate the perfect reproduction of the sound of a TV. To this we must add balanced (1) and unbalanced (3) analog line inputs, a phono input for moving magnet (MM) capsules, as well as balanced, unbalanced and subwoofer analog line outputs (2 monophonic). and digital outputs (coaxial and optical). The P430 is completed with Roon Tested approval, while its compact dimensions and visual elegance multiply its installation options. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
