Connection Variant I
musicbook DSD with active speakers
⠸
Connection Variant I:
Connecting active loudspeakers is the easiest way to enjoy music with the musicbook
DSD. You only need signal cables of appropriate length to establish the connection
between the outputs of the musicbook DSD and the inputs of the active speakers. The
musicbook DSD can easily drive long cables and delivers up to 8 V of output voltage into
600 ohms in balanced operation mode. The integrated preamp, the ample connectivity
for analog and digital sources and the possibility to play back CDs or listen to music from
a network harddisk drive, a streaming service or web radio make the musicbook DSD an
extremely versatile signal source.

Connection Variant II
musicbook DSD with power amp
musicbook 50/55 + passive speakers
musicbook 50/55
musicbook 20/25 DSD
⠸
Connection Variant II:
For using passive speakers on the musicbook DSD, you need a suitable power amplier.
With the musicbook 50 or the musicbook 55 we are presenting class D power amps
which meet the very highest demands on sound quality. An intelligent signal detector
switches on the amplier automatically when a music signal is present and turn it o
again if the music has stopped. But the musicbook DSD can also be ideally combined
with existing power amps. Since both outputs can be used simultaneously, you may link
e. g. a power amplier and an additional subwoofer to the device.

10
Connection Variant III
musicbook DSD in combination with an existing hi- system
⠸
Connection Variant III:
If you are already using a complete hi- system with a preamp or an integrated am-
plier, you can connect the musicbook DSD to an analog input of the amplier. To this
end the onboard volume control of the preamp in the musicbook DSD can be bypassed
(menu item uFixed Line Outputt in the settings menu) and will then become eective
only when used with a headphone.

Using the CD Player
• With the label side face up, gently push an audio CD into
the CD drive slot until the CD is automatically pulled in.
Important note: The drive pulls in the CDs and also ejects them again automatically.
Don’t try to push a CD into the device or pull it out against the resistance of the
drive. This will damage the load mechanism. Damages to the load mechanism are
not covered by warranty.
• After a few seconds the display will show the number of
tracks and the overall playtime of the CD.

Bluetooth Playback
musicbook DSD
The musicbook DSD is equipped with a top-class Bluetooth adapter. It supports the aptX and
AAC transmission standards. Both deliver a sound quality which is barely dierent from CD
reproduction.
However, the connected smartphone also must support those standards.
The music playback via Bluetooth can be controlled with the Play/Pause and Skip +/Skip -
keys on the remote or the app. If meta data are available, you can select between album,
artist and track with the display key on the remote.
Connecting your smartphone to the musicbook
1. First mount the supplied screw antenna to the corresponding connector.
2. Using the IR remote or app select uBluetoothtas source.
3. Open the settings on your smartphone and go to Bluetooth.
4. Select the musicbook here.
5. After a few seconds the display will read uConnectedt.
6. After the connection has been established successfully, the display will show the
name of the smartphone and the transmission standard.
Note: More setting options such as uPairingt, uAutoconnecttand uVisibletcan be
found in the settings menu of the remote under uBluetootht. See page 17.

USB Audio Interface
musicbook DSD
The musicbook DSD is equipped with a USB interface which enables you to play back
music from a computer in studio quality. In this operation mode the musicbook replaces
the internal soundcard of the computer. The interface supports high-resultion music
les up to 384 kHz PCM and DSD playback up to DSD 256 in native mode. The interface
of the musicbook DSD is fully compatible with USB Audio Class 2.
A crucial prerequisite for an optimum sound experience with a computer is the use of a
high-quality USB cable and a playback software that supports high-resolution formats
and oers some comfort such as an automatic sample rate switching. We have had
positive experiences with software programmes like Audirvana, Pure Music and J.River
Media Center.
For the use of an Apple computer no special driver is required.
Windows computers, however, need to be run with a special driver for high resolutions.
This driver can be found in the download area on our website together with a driver
installation guide.
USB operation on the Mac (OSX 10.6.4 or higher)
1. Using the supplied USB cable, connect the USB input on the rear of the musicbook DSD
to a free USB port on your Mac.
2. Now open the uAudio MIDI Setuptutility and select the musicbook from the list of the
shown devices which appears as uLINDEMANN HighResAudiot. In the settings menu
select uUse this Device for Sound Outputt. Under uFormattyou can now manually
set the sample rate and the bit resolution. A detailed installation guide is found on our
website.
We recommend the use of an audiophile playback software such as Audirvana, Pure Music
or J.River Media Center. Only that way you will be able to enjoy all features like automatic
sample rate switching, sample rate converter or DSD playback. For more information con-
tact the respective supplier.
USB operation on Windows PC (Windows 7, 8, 10)
1. Windows computers require an ASIO driver for running high-resolution USB Audio
devices. This is available on our website in the "Downloads" area. Install the driver
before connecting the musicbook to your computer for the rst time. Please follow the
installation guide on our website.
2. After successful installation connect the USB input of the musicbook to a free USB
port on your computer. Open the usoundtsettings in the PC’s usystem control
panelt. Dene the musicbook, which appears as uLINDEMANN HighResAudiot, as
standard output device and set the desired resolution and sample rate manually under
uProperties/Advancedt. A detailed installation guide can be found on our website.
We recommend the use of an audiophile playback software like J.River Media Center or
Foobar to take full advantage of all features such as automatic sample rate setting and
up-sampling. You will nd the installation guides at the respective suppliers.

musicbook 20/25 DSD
Network Connection
Netwok Connection:
The musicbook 20/25 DSD is equipped with a UPnP/DLNA network player. This allows
to play back music from various digital media like e. g. streaming services, web radio,
network attached storage (NAS) as well as USB storage media. For network operation
you will need a WLAN router with internet access, a smartphone or tablet (WLAN oper-
ation) with the musicbook app and a storage medium like an NAS (Network Attached
Storage). The versatile functions of the musicbook 20/25 DSD can be conveniently oper-
ated via the app. The core element within the network is the WLAN router. It receives the
commands from the app and passes them on to the musicbook.

20
musicbook 20/25 DSD
Network Conguration
One condition for the use of the network player is a functional home network which com-
prises at least a WLAN router with internet access and a smartphone logged in on this rout-
er for running the app. Please download the musicbook app from the App Store (Apple) or
from Google Play (Android). If you have already a music collection on an NAS, connect this
one to the WLAN router as well. To ensure a troublefree operation of the musicbook 20/25
DSD in a local network, please follow the instructions in this chapter step by step. However,
in case of problems it is advisable to consult a network expert.
NOTE: Even if you have planned a wireless only operation via WLAN, it does make sense for
the initial start-up to connect the musicbook 20/25 DSD to your router via a LAN cable. You
should acquaint yourself a little with the operation of the network player and the app before
switching to WLAN mode. For entering the WLAN access data via the app a LAN connection
is absolutely necessary. The LAN cable will only be removed after entering the WLAN data.
