First power ON
This will be your first system power ON.
Network installation
First plug and switch ON the router and the NAS (configured with the right name and shared directory
name).
Wait a few minutes, a NAS is a real mini computer which takes time to boot, it can take 5 minutes.
Connect a computer on this network and copy some music files in the NAS.
Totaldac d1-server installation
Connect the d1-server (set on USB audio input) with a loop USB cable/filter and an ethernet cable to
the router and switch ON the d1-server. The d1-server can boot quite quickly so during the boot the
d1-server will be able to see the NAS shared directory (the NAS boot time is much longer than the d1-
server boot time).
Ipad
The Ipad is the most common remote used to control the d1-server and choose the music. The
Totaldac infra red remote control keeps useful to select the source and adjust the volume (if
necessary).
If you have no Ipad yet an Ipad Mini is recommended (smaller size, easier to handle from one hand)
without 3G/4G modem and with the smallest memory capacity. This is the cheapest Ipad but it is
perfect for this application.
First connect your Ipad to the Internet using an Internet capable Wifi network. Buy and install the
application called “MPAD” on the Apple Store. Buy and install also the application called “IPeng 7
Squeezbox Remote Control”. Once installed connect the Ipad to the Hifi Wifi network (which is maybe
not connected to the internet).
Switch ON the d1-server (equipment with its loop USB cable), let it boot, it takes a about 2 minutes.
