DAC-200TS AND SI-300.2 QUICK START GUIDE
WI-FI AND ETHERNET
These products operate like other traditional DACs and integrated amplifiers. One exception, however, is that they both include a Wi-Fi and Ethernet connection. The reason for these connections is for control purposes via the App which can be downloaded for free from the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
- The Wi-Fi and Ethernet inputs do NOT stream audio. See Bluetooth and USB below.
- Connect Wi-Fi or Ethernet ONLY if you wish to use the control App. If you will not be using the control App, there is no reason to connect the unit to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- Do NOT connect both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Choose only one method.
- If your connection of choice is Wi-Fi, please refer to page 16 of the SI-300.2d Owner Manual and Page 19 of the DAC-200ts Owner Manual.
INPUTS
