Connecting integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers
You can connect your LINA Network DAC to integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers. The unit
has two types of analogue output connections: balanced and unbalanced. These outputs are
independent, which allows you to connect each output to a different amplifier.
Connecting the unit's balanced output to an unbalanced input using an XLR cable is
not recommended, as it results in hissing noises, unstable levels, and a thin sound.
1.
Switch on the amplifier and set it to a low volume.
2. Connect cables to the rear of the unit.
•
If you are using the balanced outputs, connect XLR cables to the BAL. LEFT and
BAL. RIGHT sockets.
•
If you are using the unbalanced outputs, connect RCA phono cables to the
UNBAL. LEFT and UNBAL. RIGHT sockets.
3. Connect the other end of the cables to the amplifier.
The inputs on the amplifier may be labelled CD or AUX.
4. Select the chosen input on the amplifier and play some music.

For more information, see "Using the LINA Network DAC" on page 27.
5. While music is playing, slowly increase the amplifier volume to the desired level.
Connecting to your network
If you connect your LINA Network DAC to a network, you can stream content from local
sources, such as a music server on your network, or from Internet services.
Before connecting the unit to your network, ensure you have the following items:
•
A Wi-Fi network router with spare Ethernet sockets. To stream content from internet
services, your router must be connected to the Internet.
•
A mobile device with the Mosaic Control app installed.
For more information, see "dCS Mosaic" on page 26.
►
•
Optional: A music server, such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server. The music
server must be UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible, and must be connected to
the router via an Ethernet cable.
We fully test our products with the MinimServer UPnP server software. For more
