Insert one end of a 3.5mm cable into this input and connect the other end to a 12V trigger output of the product that will control it. Once connected, The unit should power on and off along with the product controlling it. The trigger can be configured in the MENU to function with specific input(s). 5 USB-C 5V OUT Provides a 5V DC output for powering or charging connected devices. This connection is NOT a full USB port capable of accepting digital audio input signals or any other type of USB functionality. 6 6 USB-B INPUT Accepts digital audio input up to 32-bit/762kHz PCM & octuple DSD (aka DSD512).

Please note: This is NOT an HDMI or eARC input! Please reference the I2S pinout diagram on the following page for compatibility with other I2S devices. 8 OPTICAL INPUT Accepts S/PDIF digital audio input from an optical (Toslink style) output up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM. 9 RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUTS Speaker wire binding post outputs that accept banana connectors (insert into hole on back of the post), spade connectors (loosen, position spade around post, tighten), pin connectors (loosen, insert pin through hole on post, tighten) or bare wire connections (loosen, loop around post or insert through the hole on the post, tighten). See diagram on the following page. 10 COAX-1 INPUT Accepts S/PDIF digital audio input from a coaxial (RCA style) output up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM. 11 COAX-2 INPUT Accepts S/PDIF digital audio input from a coaxial (RCA style) output up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM. 12 PREAMP OUTPUT Provides analog audio output to connect to a powered subwoofer or an external power amplifier. Note: the RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUTS remain active when the PREAMP OUTPUT is used and both sets of outputs are automatically muted when the mute function is engaged or when headphones are connected via the front panel. 7 Diagram of a speaker binding post and how the most common types of speaker cable terminations can be connected.

Push and hold for ~3 seconds to enter the MENU. Rotate to move the option selection arrow up or down. Rotate the Right knob to change the setting of the currently selected option. To exit the MENU, press and hold this knob for ~3 seconds. 3 IR Receiver (concealed behind the front panel display window) For receiving Infra-Red(IR) commands from the included hand-held remote control or third-party remote control system. 4 Right knob Rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease the volume/ output level. Push and release to mute and unmute the output. When in the MENU, rotate to change the setting of the currently selected option. 5 1/4" Unbalanced Headphone Output Connection Inserting a headphone connection automatically mutes the RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKER and L & R PREAMP OUTPUTS. Removing a headphone connection automatically un-mutes the RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKER and L & R PREAMP OUTPUTS. Caution: please lower the output level when inserting or removing headphone connections as headphone sensitivity varies widely and a comfortable speaker listening level may result in a significantly louder output level when switching to headphones. 6 4.4mm Balanced T/R/R/S Headphone Output Connection Inserting a headphone connection automatically mutes the RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKERS and L & R PREAMP OUTPUTS. Removing a headphone connection automatically un-mutes the RIGHT & LEFT SPEAKERS and L & R PREAMP OUTPUTS. Caution: please lower the volume / output level when inserting of removing headphone connections as headphone sensitivity varies widely and a comfortable speaker listening level may result in a significantly louder output level when switching to headphones. 9 On/Standby Button Toggles the unit between on mode and standby mode. 2 Mute Button VOL Toggles the mute function on and off.

See BluOS instructions online on how to set up the presets. 10 MENU 1 PCM filter L-FAST is a Linear phase FAST roll-off filter. It is the most common type of digital filter and is the most accurate and neutral acoustically. H-FAST is a Hybrid FAST roll-off filter. The length of the pre-ringing is shorter and more consistent than the length of the post-ringing which is more like musical instruments. M-SLOW is a Minimum phase SLOW roll-off filter. It has smooth out-of-band attenuation characteristics, and because of its in-band attenuation characteristics, it has a smoother overall sound. Each filter has an objective (measurable) and subjective (audible to most) affect on the sound. We encourage people to audition all three filters to determine the one that sounds the best to them. Most people will experience the differences in high-frequency reproduction where they are more readily heard. There is no "right" or "wrong" answer here, its all about personal preference, room acoustics and the characteristics of your speakers... 2 NOS MODE ON bypasses the oversampling feature in the DAC, sending the original digital signal straight to the modulator. This mode is useful if you want to experiment with any software-based oversampling features in products like Roon, etc. OFF engages the 8x oversampling feature in the DAC. 3 BT POWER BT INPUT powers up internal Bluetooth radio only when the unit is on and the Bluetooth input is selected. ALWAYS keeps the internal Bluetooth radio powered up regardless of input selection. 4 VOLUME DIGITAL uses a high-quality digital audio volume attenuator. HYBRID uses a high-quality analog resistor ladder in conjunction with a digital audio attenuator to ensure optimal performance over the entire volume range. There may be some clicking sounds from inside the unit when the relays switch as well as some audible noise through the speakers or headphones at certain level changes. This is normal and expected behavior for this type of volume control and will not cause any harm. 5 DISPLAY ALWAYS keeps the display on whenever the unit is on. AUTO OFF turns the display off after several seconds. 6 BRIGHTNESS Sets the brightness of the front panel display. 8 is the brightest, 1 is the dimmest. 11 7 TRIGGER SEL INPUT & LAST The 12V trigger can be set to select one of the specific INPUTS or to select the LAST input used when the unit was put into standby. 8 [SOURCE] VOLUME Sets the starting point for the volume / output level for each input independently. Push the right knob to select the input to affect. Rotate the right knob to change the initial volume / output level setting for THAT input. LAST sets the volume to the LAST level used when the unit was put into standby. -20, -35, -50 sets the volume level to these specific values. FIXED sets the unit to 0dB FS (Full Scale-zero attenuation). Please use this setting with extreme caution! 9 INPUT I2S, COAX-1, COAX-2, OPT These inputs can be renamed to: CD, SACD, TV, STREAM, or AUX.
