Optimization and

Customization

The Ayre DX-5 offers many advanced features. It is
configured at the factory to provide the best
performance for a typical installation. In certain
situations you may wish to change the default
configuration for optimal performance in your
system, using small toggle switches on the rear of
the unit.

The default configuration settings (all switches in
the “up” position) will work best for the vast
majority of users.

Digital Audio Output

An adapter is available from

Ayre should you need to

connect the digital output to a

device with an S/PDIF input

that uses an RCA connector.

The Ayre DX-5 features a balanced AES/EBU
Digital Audio Output on the rear of the unit. This
may be used when connecting to an older
surround-sound processor that lacks an HDMI
input.

The Digital Audio Output is only active with PCM
or compressed PCM (Dolby Digital or DTS)
based discs. It is inactive when playing SACDs.
