What are the 3 USB ports of element S used for? How to use them? - Wei Cao - 04-28-2023
element S has 3 USB ports, a USB-A port, a USB-B port and a USB-C (Type C) port.
- USB-A port: When the output channel of element S is set to "USB DAC", the USB-A port starts to work. DACs include a USB input can be connected to this port.
- USB-B port: When the input channel of element S is set to "USB Audio", the USB-B port starts to work. At this time, element S can be connected to source devices such as computers, smart phones and tablets.
- USB-C port: When the input channel of element S is set to "Streaming", music on the flash drives or portable HDD/SSD can be played from element S. When the input channel is set to "CD Drive", you can play CD records from element S.
- Note: When you set the input channel to USB Audio (USB-B), the output channel couldn't be set to USB DAC (USB-A).
