TRIPLE-X PSU. The connector should fit comfortably
with a small click when properly seated.
The power connector from the XT-100 Integrated
amplifier mates with the 6-way socket labelled XT-100
on the rear of the TRIPLE-X PSU. The connector should
fit comfortably with a small click when properly seated.

Figure 3
The recommended power supply wiring for the four-
component setup, including upgrade power supply and
X-DAC
V8
, is shown in figure 3.
The power connector from the X-PLORA
V8
mates with
the 4-way socket labelled X-PLORA V8 on the rear of
the X-DAC
V8
. The connector should fit comfortably
with a small click when properly seated.
The power connector from the X-RAY
V8 mates with
the 5-way socket labelled X-RAY
V8
on the rear of the
X-DAC
V8
.The connector should fit comfortably with a
small click when properly seated.
The XT-100 integrated amplifier should be powered
from the upgrade TRIPLE-X170 power supply unit.
Connect your XT-100 to this supply through the 6-way
XLR socket at the back. The X-PLORA
V8
and X-
RAY
V8
are now supplied from the X-DAC
V8
. This frees
up reserve supply for the power amplifiers in the
XT100.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, as it is possible
to use the original TRIPLE-X power supply, say, to
supply the CD player alone further isolating it from the
DAC and other circuits. The beauty of this system is its
incredibly flexible allowing considerable tweaking to
obtain optimum audio performance.
