AYRE DX-5DSD - Manual (Page 12)

USB Input
The USB input allows the DX-5 DSD to be connected
to a personal computer for use as a state-of-the-art
music server. The input uses the squarish USB “B”
type connector designed for computer peripheral
devices. The rectangular “A” type connector at the
other end of the cable is designed to plug directly
into the computer itself.
Music input at the USB Audio Input will not be
output by either HDMI connector. Only the
Analog Audio Outputs will deliver music sent to
the USB Audio Input.
The USB 2.0 standard specifies a maximum cable
length of 16 feet (5 meters). It is not recommended
to use extenders or hubs with the DX-5
DSD
. Fiber
optic USB cables can be longer, but are relatively
expensive.
AyreLink Ports
The AyreLink communication system provides a
convenient way to control your audio system. There
are two AyreLink ports on the rear panel of the
DX-5
DSD . Each port has four contacts and contains

AyreLink connections are made with commonly
available two-line telephone line cords using
modular (RJ-11) connectors. (These are the cords
that connect the telephone set to the wall in many
