SoundPath knowledge core

Audio compatibility relationships

A public, directed map of protocols, physical interfaces and the conditions that separate a connector match from a safe working system.

98 stored relationsSupported / conditional / unknownUnknown ≠ supported

Supported

The required direction and interface are recorded at both endpoints. Operating mode and region still need a final check.

Conditional

The path is plausible, but gain, firmware, ecosystem, load, adapter or setup conditions decide the outcome.

Unknown

Evidence is insufficient. Unknown never becomes supported just to fill a recommendation list.

Protocol and interface index

What is recorded on the 30 public profiles

A dash means “not in this record”, not “definitely unsupported”. Open the product profile and official source before making it a hard requirement.

Correction · 13 September 2026: The FiiO S15 → TOPPING DX5 II “Balanced XLR line” relation was removed. The S15 XLR is an output and the DX5 II XLR is also an output; this specific analog path cannot be used as an input-to-output connection. This correction does not assess other digital paths. Sources: FiiO S15 and TOPPING DX5 II.

Turn a relation into a recommendation

A compatibility edge answers “can these endpoints form this path?” A scenario adds room, use case, required features and risk boundaries. The Recommendation Finder ranks only after those gates are applied.
