NEO X Introduction
NEO X is an all-in-one device integrating 4K UHD media player, music streaming media
player, audio and video media center, high-delity headphone amplier, music decoder and
Bluetooth decoder.
As a 4K UHD media player, it can decode and output advanced 4K 12Bit HDR10+/Dolby
vision.
NEO X supports playing music from a variety of input sources, such as hard disk,
computer and NAS server. Not only supporting almost all high-sampling master-tape music
les such as MQA, SACD ISO, DFF, DSF, FLAC, WAV, APE etc., but also supporting managing
local music resources and music streaming. Live streaming media app and DLNA streaming
all can get good audio quality.
NEO X adopts ESS9038Pro DAC chip for audio decoding and supports lossless Bluetooth,
Coaxial, AES/EBU and asynchronous USB audio input, which can be used as an independent
high-delity audio decoder. XLR balance, RCA stereo preamplier output and high-
performance headphone amplier output are supported. No matter for local le playback or
external audio input, excellent audio index can be obtained with the decoding processing of
DAC, fully balanced operational amplier circuit and audio components. It can parse lossless
master-tape format les up to 22.5792 MHz DSD les (DSD512 Native mode), 768 kHz 32-bit
PCM.
NEO X can be controlled easily by cell phone with exclusive Zidoo Controller APP. The
large 5-inch OLED HD screen can intuitively display general settings menu, music library
data, playback status and input source sampling rate etc. Touch screen, physical volume and
multifunctional control knobs are very convenient to operate.
NEO X helps us solving devices connecting and matching problems, which is easy to use
and pursuing for excellent performance.

Hard Disk Loading
NEO X is equipped with a 3.5-inch SATA 3.0 high-speed HDD bay, which can load a hard drive.
Just pull out the door of HDD bay and push in hard drive with suitable size, no other tools are
needed (support hard drive up to 16TB).
Note:
Do not install or replace the hard disk when the device is power-on, so as to avoid the
damage of the device and data corruption of hard disk. Please format newly-purchased hard
disk on the computer and then load it to the device. This device supports hard disk formats
including EXT3, EXT4, NTFS, FAT32, EXFAT.

Make sure both TV and NEO X are power-o, connect these two devices by HDMI cable, from
NEO X HDMI OUT port to TV HDMI IN port. And choose the correct signal source on TV after
powering on.
Make sure AVR, TV, and NEO X are all power-o. Two HDMI cables are required in this process,
one cable connect from NEO X HDMI OUT port to AVR HDMI IN port, another cable connect
from AVR HDMI OUT port to TV HDMI IN port. Choose the correct signal source on AVR and TV
respectively after powering on.
Note:
Please use HDMI 2.0 or higher-spec cable and display device to enjoy 4K UHD HDR
experience.

❶ Connect DAC or AVR by Optical/Coaxial
Connect NEO X with AVR by Optical/Coaxial audio cable, switch to corresponding signal
source on DAC or AVR.
Digital audio output includes HDMI audio output, Optical audio output, Coaxial audio
output, USB audio output and Bluetooth audio output. Please select the audio source as
"Digital Output", meanwhile the DAC audio will be turned o.
Note:
Optical/Coaxial supports up to 5.1 output.
Note:
* In order to get wonderful 4K UHD HDR experience, please ensure that HDMI cable, display
device and AVR all can meet the corresponding technical specications.
* HDMI audio out and DAC analog audio cannot output at the same time. It is needed to turn
o DAC to output audio from HDMI.
Settings > DAC Audio > Source In > Digital OUtput (Turn O DAC)
* HDMI audio passthrough is supported by NEO X, if AVR supports more advanced audio
formats, please set HDMI output mode to RAW.

Connect NEO X USB Type-A port with DAC USB DAC IN port by USB audio cable.
Note：
* Corresponding setting: Settings > Audio > USB Audio
* There might be incompatible situation when USB audio output to some DACs. If so, please
contact with Zidoo tech support.
Audios from analog output includes RCA, XLR, and headphone jacks all have been decoded
and output by the ESS 9038Pro DAC. When playing from internal player, it's needed to turn
on "Source In > DAC (internal player)". When playing from external player, please switch to
relevant sources. The digital output will be closed when outputting from analog output.

❶ RCA, XLR output
Using a pair of RCA or XLR balanced analog audio cables to connect NEO X with active
speaker or HiFi amplier.
Note：
* NEO X is equipped with two independent stereo output ports: RCA-type and XLR-type
balanced ports can output audio signals simultaneously. Generally only choosing one of
these ports is enough, and it is recommended to choose XLR balanced port to obtain better
noise suppression and signal integrity.
* NEO X's balanced output is a three-pin XLR male port, which will output dierential signals
pair (positive/negative signals). The amplier circuit can compare the voltage dierence of
signals pair to cancel common mode noise and improve the integrity of the original signal.
* In some audio systems, the positive and negative polarities are reversed. The default
positive polarity are shown below. If you need to reverse the polarity, please set it in the
system: Settings > DAC audio > XLR Port Polarity > Reverse
