Optimization and
Customization
The Ayre C-5xe 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 C-5xe features a balanced AES/EBU
digital audio output on the rear of the unit. This
may be used when connecting to a digital recording
unit or other device, such as an external
digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
The digital audio output is only active with PCM
or compressed PCM (Dolby Digital or DTS)
based discs (CD and DVD). It is inactive when
playing SACDs.
