Using your IA350 MKII with a PC
Your Passion IA350 MKII integrated amplifier has an excellent Cirrus Logic DAC which means it can be used
with your PC as a source.
In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to download a driver to your PC. This is only necessary for use with
Windows - no download is required if using a MAC.
The file can be downloaded from the YBA website - www.ybahifi.com/downloads.html
When you have completed the download and you connect your IA350 MKII, the Windows 'Found new
hardware' bubble will appear. The description of the IA350 MKII will be Eddict Audio Device.
After a few seconds you will receive a message 'Your new hardware is installed and ready to use'. Your PC's
previous audio output device should be temporarily disabled and the IA350 MKII will become the default audio
device automatically. This can be checked in the Control Panel. Select Sounds and Audio Devices. In the volume
tab check Eddict Audio Device.
If you wish to disconnect your IA350 MKII and return to your soundcard, simply disconnect or switch off the
power on the front panel. If for some reason your PC fails to disable the IA350 MKII, you can manually do this in
the Hardware Device Manager.
Understanding the volume readout on your IA350 MKII
The Passion IA350 MKII display a volume level which reads from -80 to 00 which can sometimes cause
confusion, particularly when it is recommended volume levels be set to zero.
As you reduce the volume, the negative numbers grow larger. O dB is therefore the maximum volume. To help
make this a little clearer we have added a document to the download area of the YBA website entitled
Understanding 0dB which we would encourage you to read.
