different digital audio sources. these include-

using a suitable toslink optical or a digital phono interconnect,
connect each digital audio source to one of the inputs 1-5.
Make a note of the input number used for each source as
the inputs can be re-named at the set-up stage.
Connecting to the USB port
the uSB port is compatible with ipods, iphones, ipads and
other personal audio players, also memory sticks, hard drives
and personal audio players. It is not intended for connection
to the usb port of a computer.
Note: if you are connecting a uSB flash drive or hard
drive, make sure that the drive is no larger than 500gb and
formatted as FAt16 or FAt32. Larger drives may be slow
to navigate and other formats such as NtFS will not be
navigable from the Stream Xa . If you prefer to use a larger
drive, a NAs drive connected via your computer network is
highly recommended.
As the uSB port is located on the back panel of the unit,
you may want to leave a docking cable for your personal
audio player permanently connected and accessible from
the front of the unit.
If your personal audio player has an integrated usb
connector, a plug to socket uSB extension cable will extend
the docking connector to an accessible place.
Connecting the fixed analogue outputs to an
amplifier
The Stream Xa , may be connected to the analogue inputs of
an integrated or pre-amplifier.
if you are connecting the Stream Xa to an amplifier (or
preamplifier) with volume control, use a suitable audio
interconnect to connect the fixed Out sockets to a spare
analogue input of the amplifier.
NOTe: The Stream Xa features dual fixed outputs labelled
out1 and out2. either or both of these may be connected
to an integrated or pre-amplifier input.
NOTe: The Stream Xa does not include a preamplifier output
so must not be connected directly to a power amplifier.
Connecting to an AV system
The Stream Xa should be connected as a digital source
component of an AV system. Follow the instructions in the
previous section to connect the digital output of the Stream
Xa to a digital input of the Av system.
