If you are using any Element Series device with digital source such as a CD Transport, PC, MC, or Game Console there
are the following connections available:
Coxial (5), Optical(12), and USB(10) as well as an IIS(“eye-Squared-ess”) Low-Voltage Differential Signaling Input(11).
This looks very similar to an HDMI port, however this is for IIS data stream sources only. (For Example the Matrix Audio
X-SPIDF 2 or
The PS Audio SACD Transport.) It will NOT WORK with any standard HDMI audio source.
You can also store your music files directly to this device via the Micro SD(7) and USB (8)data connections on these
devices. Just plug in your music drive!
