Innuos Statement Setup

  • Updated

The Innuos Statement can be connected to a dCS system in two ways: via the network (using UPnP) and via USB. If the dCS system has a network connection, using the network is recommended. 

  1. Connect the Statement to the network by connecting an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the Statement to the router (or network switch if one is being used between the Statement and the router).
  2. Download the Innuos Sense app to configure the Statement. 

Connection via Network

  1. Connect the dCS system directly to the network, again by connecting an Ethernet cable from the Network port to the router or network switch. 
    Do not connect to the Streamer Ethernet port on the Statement- this can cause issues with the dCS device connecting to the internet and can impact using apps or streaming services.
  2. Open the Innuos Sense app and connect to the Statement. Navigate to the System tab:


     
  3. Open the Settings menu:


     
  4. Open the UPnP settings menu:


     
  5. Turn UPnP on:


     
  6. Go back to the Settings menu and Open the Audio menu:


     
  7. Tap the + icon on the Network Streamers box. Select your dCS product from the list of available devices. 
    If you do not see the dCS device on this list, make sure both the dCS product and Innuos Statement are both switched on and connected to the same network.

  8. Navigate back to the Audio settings menu. The dCS product should now be shown in the list of Network Streamers. Select the 3-dot menu icon to the right of the device name to open up the settings for that device.


     
  9. This menu allows settings related to the streamer to be changed. All systems should have Support DSD and Display track data on streamer display turned on.
    For Varèse Music Systems, the Maximum Sample Rate should be set to 768000.
    For all other dCS products, the Maximum Sample Rate should be set to 384000.


     
  10. The dCS product can now be selected as an output device via UPnP from the Now Playing window. All audio will be sent from the Innuos Statement to the dCS system via UPnP.

    Note: If you are using a Varèse Music System, DSD will not be correctly played via this method. Locally stored DSD files can be correctly played from the dCS Mosaic ACTUS app. Alternatively, the USB connection can be used to playback from within the Innuos Sense app.

Connection via USB

  1. Connect a USB-A to USB-B cable from the USB Audio port on the Statement to the USB-B port on the dCS product.
  2. Open the Innuos Sense app and connect to the Statement. Navigate to the System tab:


     
  3. Open the Settings menu:


     
  4. Open the Audio settings menu:


     
  5. Innuos Music Player settings (the cog icon tot he right of the Innuos Music Player box):


     

  6. Set the DSD Mode setting to DSD over PCM. 
    Set USB Latency Mode to Normal. 
    Set PCM Sampling Rate Limit and MQA Software Decoding to off.
     


     

  7. If there is a dCS master clock connected to the DAC, set the DAC to the USB input. Open the menu on the DAC, either via the front panel or via the Mosaic app, and navigate to Unit Settings -> Sync Mode. Change this setting to Wordclock Auto: / (the left image shows what this setting looks like on Bartók, Rossini & Vivaldi. The right image shows what it looks like on Lina DAC and Lina DAC X.)
  8. If there is no dCS master clock connected to the DAC, set the DAC to the USB input. Open the menu of the DAC, either via the front panel or via the Mosaic app, and navigate to Unit Settings -> Sync Mode. Change this setting to Master Mode: / (the left image shows what this setting looks like on Bartók, Rossini & Vivaldi. The right image shows what it looks like on Lina DAC and Lina DAC X.)
  9. To connect the Statement to a Varèse Music System, the Varèse Core needs to have the Digital I/O Module installed. This can be arranged through your dCS dealer. Once the USB cable has been connected from the  USB Audio port on the Statement to the USB-B port on the Varèse Core, no other settings (like sync mode) need to be changed. Simply select the USB input via the User Interface or the Mosaic ACTUS app and begin listening.
