If the Network input name
is set to OFF in the setup
menu, the network module
will be disabled and powered
off, potentially improving
sound quality of other inputs
due to reduced electrical noise,
but the QX-5 will no longer
be seen on the network.

Ethernet Input (10)
The Ethernet Input on the QX-5 Twenty will
immediately attempt to communicate with
your home network as soon as it is physically
connected. The unit will appear on your network
as "Ayre QX-5" and can be controlled with any
UPnP control app.
If the QX-5 Twenty does not appear on your
network, please refer to the troubleshooting
section, see Network (pg. 44).
The Ethernet input utilizes a ubiquitous Ethernet
cable terminating in four pairs of copper wire
with a locking end connector. Extended lengths
of cable may be used for longer runs if your home
network is not in close proximity to the chosen
location of the QX-5 Twenty.
There are also two USB "A" ports provided as part
of the Ethernet module. The ports may be used
to connect the supplied Wi-Fi antenna or a USB
flash drive. Music on the USB flash drive can be
streamed to the QX-5 Twenty directly via this
connection using the mconnect control app.
