Playing music with AirPlay
When the DAC is connected to a network, music can be streamed from an Apple device via AirPlay to
the DAC. When AirPlay is active, the DAC’s Network input is automatically selected.
!
The lower Output Level settings are intended to prevent accidents when driving the
amplifiers directly and AirPlay is in use, as the volume set by the sending device can be
very high.
