Using your IA350A with a PC
Your Passion IA350A integrated amplifier has an excellent Cirrus Logic DAC which means it can be used with your PC as a source.
In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to download a driver to your PC. This is only necessary for use with Windows – no download is required if using a MAC.
When you have completed the download and you connect your IA350A, the Windows ‘Found new hardware’ bubble will appear. The description of the IA350A will be XMOS XS1-L1 Audio.
After a few seconds you will receive a message ‘Your new hardware is installed and ready to use’. Your PC’s previous audio output device should be temporarily disabled and the IA350A will become the default audio device automatically. This can be checked in the Control Panel. Select Sounds and Audio Devices. In the volume tab check XMOS XS1-L1 Audio.
If you wish to disconnect your IA350A and return to your soundcard, simply disconnect or switch off the power on the front panel. If for some reason your PC fails to disable the IA350A, you can manually do this in the Hardware Device Manager.
