The XT-100integrated amplifier should be powered from the upgrade TRIPLE-X170power supply unit. Connect your XT-100to this supply through the 6-way XLR socket at the back. The X-PLORAV8and 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.
