Figure 1
The standard 3-component setup using the original
TRIPLE-X PSU (bottom left) is shown in figure 1.
The power connector from the X-PLORAV8 mates with
the 4-way socket labelled X-PLORAV8 on the rear of the
TRIPLE-X PSU. The connector should fit comfortably
with a small click when properly seated.
The power connector from the X-RAYV8 mates with the
5-way socket labelled X-RAYV8 on the rear of the
TRIPLE-X PSU. The connector should fit comfortably
with a small click when properly seated.
The power connector from the XT-100 Integrated
amplifier mates with the 6-way socket labelled XT-100
on the rear of the TRIPLE-X PSU. The connector should
fit comfortably with a small click when properly seated.

The wiring is identical to that given under the standard
setup shown above. Simply remove the TRIPLE-X PSU
and use the TRIPLE-X170 PSU in its place.
4-component setup, upgraded power supply
X-PLORAV8

TRIPLE-X170
Figure 3
The recommended power supply wiring for the four-
component setup, including upgrade power supply and
X-DACV8, is shown in figure 3.
The power connector from the X-PLORAV8 mates with
the 4-way socket labelled X-PLORAV8 on the rear of
the X-DACV8. The connector should fit comfortably
with a small click when properly seated.
The power connector from the X- RAYV8 mates with
the 5-way socket labelled X-RAYV8 on the rear of the
X-DACV8.The connector should fit comfortably with a
small click when properly seated.
The XT-100 integrated amplifier should be powered
from the upgrade TRIPLE-X170 power supply unit.
Connect your XT-100 to this supply through the 6-way
XLR socket at the back. The X-PLORAV8 and X-
RAYV8 are now supplied from the X-DACV8. This frees
up reserve supply for the power amplifiers in the
XT100.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, as it is possible
to use the original TRIPLE-X power supply, say, to
supply the CD player alone further isolating it from the
DAC and other circuits. The beauty of this system is its
incredibly flexible allowing considerable tweaking to
obtain optimum audio performance.
