1. Sambungan Kuasa: Connect the provided power cable to the AC input on the rear panel. Ensure the voltage switch (115V/230V) is set correctly for your region before connecting to a power outlet.
2. Keluaran Analog:
   • For unbalanced connections, use RCA cables to connect the "Line out RCA Left" and "Line out RCA Right" ports to your amppembesar atau pembesar suara aktif.
   • For balanced connections, use XLR cables to connect the "Line out XLR Left" and "Line out XLR Right" ports to your balanced amppembesar atau pembesar suara aktif.
3. Input Digital: Connect your digital audio sources (e.g., PC, CD player, streamer) to the appropriate input ports:
   • USB: Untuk menyambung ke komputer.
   • LAN: For network streaming capabilities.
   • Optik (TOSLINK): For optical digital audio sources.
   • Sepaksi: For coaxial digital audio sources.
   • AES: For professional AES/EBU digital audio sources.
   • IIS: For high-performance IIS digital audio sources, typically from dedicated DDCs.
   • Input Jam: For connecting an external high-precision clock (e.g., GCLK-02) to further enhance audio synchronization.

Once all connections are made, switch on the power using the power switch on the rear panel.

Arahan Operasi

Kawalan Panel Hadapan

The front panel features a display and control buttons for basic operation:

• paparan: Menunjukkan input semasa, sample rate, and other status information.
• Pemilih Input: Cycle through available digital inputs.
• Menu/Tetapan: Access various settings such as filters and NOS mode.
• Kawalan Kelantangan: Adjust output volume (if variable output is enabled).

Penstriman Rangkaian

The X26III supports various network streaming protocols. To manage these, access the device's web antara muka:

1. Ensure the X26III is connected to your network via the LAN port.
2. Pada komputer yang disambungkan ke rangkaian yang sama, buka web pelayar.
3. Masuk //x26.local in the address bar. This will open the network bridge control page.
4. From this interface, you can enable or disable various streaming protocols such as AirPlay, Roon Bridge, UPnP/DLNA, HQPlayer NAA, and Spotify.

Digital Filters and NOS Mode

The X26III offers various digital filters and a Non-Oversampling (NOS) mode to tailor the sound to your preference. These settings can typically be accessed via the front panel menu or remote control.

Image: The front display of the Gustard X26III showing available settings for PCM filters (Vivid, Gentle, Composite), DSD filters (47K, 50K, 60K, 70K), and NOS mode (Disable, Enable).

• Penapis PCM: Select from options like VIVID, GENTLE, or COMPOSITE to adjust the sound characteristics for PCM audio.
• DSD Filters: Choose from various DSD filter frequencies (e.g., 47K, 50K, 60K, 70K).
• NOS Mode: Enable or disable Non-Oversampling mode. This mode bypasses digital filtering for a more direct sound.

Penyelenggaraan

• Keep the device in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive humidity.
• Bersihkan bahagian luar dengan kain lembut dan kering. Jangan gunakan pembersih cecair atau pelarut.
• Pastikan pengudaraan yang betul di sekeliling unit untuk mengelakkan terlalu panas.
• Periksa sambungan kabel secara berkala untuk memastikan ia selamat.

Menyelesaikan masalah

Tiada Keluaran Bunyi

• Check all audio cable connections (RCA/XLR) to your amppembesar atau pembesar suara aktif.
• Verify that the correct input source is selected on the X26III.
• Pastikan anda amplifier/speakers are powered on and set to the correct input.
• Check the volume level on both the X26III and your amplebih hidup.
• Confirm that the power cable is securely connected and the unit is powered on.

Network Streaming Issues

• Ensure the LAN cable is securely connected to both the X26III and your network router/switch.
• Sahkan bahawa rangkaian anda berfungsi dengan betul.
