2.2.1

 

Ethernet 

Connect an Ethernet cable from the N-DAC8 Ethernet port to a free port on an AVB-enabled router or switch, 
such as the miniDSP AVB-SW. Note that for the network to be AVB-enabled, all devices between the audio 
source and the N-DAC8 must be AVB-enabled. This diagram illustrates a typical scenario. 

 

If an AVB-enabled local area network is not available, the N-DAC8 can be connected directly to the AVB-enabled 
audio source.
