computer has optical or another digital output, you can use that as well; be sure to check the
sound control panel to verify that your settings are correct.
CONNECTING TO OTHER DIGITAL SOURCES
You can connect a digital source to the Xciter DAC using the optical, single-ended or BNC
connectors. The Xciter DAC will lock onto the signal output by the device automatically.
When first powered up, the DAC will auto-seek an input signal to lock onto. You can select from
any of the four inputs using the front panel rotary knob.
