Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of PS Audio’s AirLens streaming device.
The AirLens is a high-performance network connected streamer that can bring the world of
music into your home. Connect the input to the AirLens to your home network via its Ethernet
or Wi-Fi services, and its output to your Digital To Analog Converter (DAC), and get ready to
enjoy some of the highest delity possible.
Technology
The PS Audio AirLens is the perfect interface between your home network, the Internet, and
your high-end audio Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
Streaming network audio via Roon or other services like Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify oers
millions of titles at the touch of a nger. Unfortunately, connecting your sensitive DAC to the
noise generated by computers, routers, NAS, local networks, and modems via either Wi-Fi or
Ethernet cable is not a great-sounding solution to bringing high-performance audio into your
listening environment. The PS Audio AirLens completely eliminates the problems of noise,
jitter, and EMI inuences through complete galvanic isolation and perfect reclocking of the
digital audio signal. You’ve not yet heard how great streaming can sound until you experience
audio through the AirLens.
Placing the PS Audio AirLens between your home network and your DAC will forever change
the performance of streaming music. Once connected to any DAC, the AirLens interface
will bring exceptional transparency, resolution, timbral realism, and wide dynamics to any
D to A converter. Noise from any number of sources including your computer, long runs of
Ethernet cable, EMI interference through Wi-Fi, the system modem and router, all contribute
to increased jitter and a general reduction of delity in the system. Connecting your DAC via
its coax or I2S inputs completely removes the haze and congestion caused by these noise
sources.
Galvanic isolation
The PS Audio AirLens achieves its clean output through the use of a technology known as
Galvanic Isolation.
Galvanic isolation means the complete elimination of any physical electrical connection
between input and output. Typically, a common power supply provides ground and power
to both inputs and outputs. Once a non-galvanically isolated device is connected to a noise
source at its input, its shared ground passes the noise through a common ground to the
output stage where the DAC is connected. The challenge with the AirLens was to design two
fully isolated stages: input and output, and connect the digital audio signal between the
two without any loss. To do this we incorporated a low-noise galvanically isolated DC-to-DC
converter to feed power to the AirLens’output stage. We then deliver the received digital
audio data to that clean output stage using only air as the interface. The results are nothing
short of amazing. Finally, streaming music with all the noise and jitter-induced haze and
congestion gone.

Getting Started
DIP
Switch
Settings
The AirLens has several custom settings for Roon that can be accessed via DIP switches on the
bottom of the unit. The AirLens has certain capabilities (such as the maximum PCM rate) that
may exceed the DAC the AirLens is attached to. In this case, you can use the DIP switches to
set the capabilities of your DAC so that Roon will know when to downsample music so that it
will always play on your end device. For ease of access, PS Audio recommends setting these
before connecting the AirLens to your system.
ForPerfectWave DACs, all switches should be set to UP (on).
PCM:
This sets the maximum PCM rate on Roon. If you play a track with a higher PCM rate, Roon will
automatically downsample to the highest rate you select here.
DSD:
Set this to“No DSD” to disable DSD playback completely. This will indicate to Roon that your
DAC does not support either native or DoP, and Roon will convert any DSD tracks to PCM at an
equivalent rate, up to the max PCM rate you set. Otherwise, this can be set to the maximum
DSD rate your DAC supports.
DSD Mode:
If set to Native, DSD will pass native DSD to the AirLens (and to your DAC).
If set to DoP, Roon will convert native DSD tracks to DoP.
Volume Control:
Set to Disable (up position) to disable volume control within Roon. This will force the Fixed
Volume setting in the Roon Core setup.
For non-PS Audio DACs, set to Enable to enable DSP Digital volume control within Roon. You
may also need to select Device Volume or DSP Volume within the Device Setup of the AirLens
inside of Roon to see the volume control within Roon.
NOTE: If Volume Control is set to Enable on a non-PS Audio DAC, Roon will convert DSD to
PCM. This is required to modify volume on DSD tracks. To allow DSD or DOP to play, Volume
Control must be set to Disabled.

Getting Started
Connect
to your
DAC
PS Audio recommends connecting to your DAC through IS protocol. IS delivers the best
sonic experience by separately transmitting data and clocks over an HDMI cable. A growing
number of high-end audio DACs have adopted PS Audio’s IS standard, which we freely oer
and support to the high-end audio manufacturing community.
Although an HDMI cable is used for the IS connections, it’s important to note that IS data is
not HDMI data and the AirLens’s output should not be connected to the HDMI input on a DAC
or receiver. The HDMI connector and cabling are used only to deliver audio via IS .
Connect a high-quality HDMI cable between the IS output to a compatible DAC’s IS (via
HDMI) input. Note: the quality and length of the HDMI cable have signicant impacts on audio
performance. The shorter the cable, the better the sound. We recommend using a 1/2-meter
length if possible. Longer cables will work but make certain you install the highest-quality
HDMI cable possible within your budget.
If you don’t have an IS compatible DAC, use the coax cable to connect to your DAC.
The AirLens connects to your home network using either Wi-Fi or a standard Ethernet jack. For
the most reliable connection, PS Audio recommends using Ethernet. If using
Wi-Fi, you’ll need to power up the AirLens rst (see page 8).
If using an Ethernet jack, install the included ferrite noise suppressor onto
the Ethernet cable. Place it around the end of the cable closest to the unit.
Plug in the cable. Once the unit is powered up, the light in the right corner of
the Ethernet jack will turn green to show Ethernet is connected and the light
in the left corner of the Ethernet will rapidly blink yellow to show trac is moving. The Status
LED will also go solid green to show the AirLens is connected to the Internet.

Getting Started
Connect
to Wi-Fi
Once the digital and network connections are made, use a high quality AC cable to connect
the PST to an AC wall outlet or AC outlet of a power conditioner. The supplied AC power cord
will work but upgrading it to a high-end power cord, as well as the use of a PS Audio Power
Plant AC Regenerator, will oer sonic benets.
PS Audio produces an entire line of high-quality power cables that are generally accepted as
being some of the best in the industry. Whatever you choose, make sure it honors the music.
Turn the AC power switch on the rear of the AirLens to the ON position. The power switch is
located to the right of the AC inlet as you face the rear panel.
On startup, the Status LED will:
• Blink orange for 15-35 seconds while looking for the network.
• Go solid green to show it is connected to the network.
Note: If you are connecting to the network via Wi-Fi, it will continue to blink orange until Wi-Fi
is connected.
To connect to Wi-Fi, make sure the Ethernet cable is unplugged rst. If it’s plugged in, you
won’t be able to connect to Wi-Fi.
Do a quick press of the WPS button on your AirLens.
Press the WPS button on your router. (Do this within one minute or the AirLens will time out.)
The WPS LED will:
• Blink orange at medium speed while searching for the network. (Status LED
will slowly blink orange.)
• While verifying the AP it will slowly blink green.
• Once it starts connecting, it will blink green at medium speed while
conguring the Wi-Fi.
• Go solid green once connected to the network . (Status LED will also go solid
green once connected.)
• If it fails to connect, the WPS LED will go solid red and then turn o.
To disconnect from Wi-Fi or cancel WPS, press the WPS button once, wait two seconds and
then press it again. The second press must happen within 3-5 seconds of the rst press, or the
cancellation process will be aborted. After the second press, the WPS LED will:
• Blink red at medium speed to show forget Wi-Fi is in progress.
• Go solid green while checking the status.
• Turn o to show that Wi-Fi network is forgotten.
• If forget Wi-Fi failed, it will return to solid green.

module rmware update.
To see what version of Airlens rmware and streamer rmware you have, set dip switch 7 to o
and do a quick press of the WPS button.
The WPS LED will start with the AirLens rmware version. It will blink slow green for the major
version (once for 1. or twice for 2., etc.) and then slow orange for the minor version (once for
.1, twice for .2, etc.). For example, if the green blinks once and the orange blinks four times,
you have version 1.4 of the AirLens rmware.
After completing the above, the WPS LED will blink slow red to give you the streamer rmware
version.
To do an AirLens rmware update:
• Turn DIP Switch 7 to the UP position. This is the default setting.
• Press and hold the WPS button for 15 seconds.
Warning
: Power should not be removed from the unit while updating the AirLens
rmware. If power is removed, the unit may become unresponsive. In this case, the
unit can be recovered by doing an update with a USB thumb drive from the back
panel.
• Once complete, the unit will reboot automatically.
To do a streamer rmware update:
• Turn DIP Switch 7 to the DOWN (o) position.
• Press and hold the WPS button for 15 seconds.
Warning
: Power should not be removed from the unit while updating the streamer
firmware. If power is removed, the unit may become non-functional, requiring it to
be returned to PS Audio to be fixed.
• Once complete, power cycle the unit from the back to ensure the new
streamer rmware is properly loaded.
• Turn DIP Switch 7 back to the UP (on) position.
For either rmware update, once you hold the WPS button for 15 seconds, the status LED will
do the following if the a new version is available:
• Blink orange at medium speed while the unit requests for new rmware.
• Blink green at medium speed while verifying the version.
• Rapidly blink green while it updates the unit. In addition, the front logo LED
will also blink rapidly.

Troubleshooting
The AirLens is connected and the status LED is green, but you don’t see your streaming
options. Try turning the unit o and back on after a few seconds. In rare cases, it may help to
restart your streaming application or other devices like your computer, iPhone, or iPad.
The Ethernet is plugged in but the status LED is not turning green. Check that the lights on
the AirLens Ethernet jack are illuminated. If not, ensure that the Ethernet cable is fully plugged
into the unit and the wall jack. Your wall jack may also not be properly connected to your
router. If you are still having issues, make sure that your network is still working on other
devices.
If you are still having trouble with the wired connection where your AirLens is located, you can
try bringing the AirLens to where your router is located and directly connect the AirLens via
the Ethernet cable to one of the router Ethernet output jacks. If it works with your router, there
might be an issue with your home network,. For example, the switch or network wiring might
have issues..
If you are having trouble with WPS connection, try turning the Airlens o and back on. Then
wait a minute or two before trying again. It can also be helpful to try pressing WPS on your
router rst and then press it on your AirLens.
Due to the nature of Wi-Fi, it is sometimes necessary to try to connect multiple times.
Sometimes restarting your router is also helpful.
If you are in a room that doesn’t have Ethernet connection and you are having trouble with
WPS, it can be helpful to briey move the AirLens next to your router and try connecting via
WPS from there. The connection will be stronger due to close proximity, and you can press
both WPS buttons more quickly. Once connected, you can return the AirLens to its intended
home and it will reconnect when turned on.

Thanks for being a part of
the PS Audio Family
At PS Audio, we’re family.
Not just a family that runs in bloodlines, but in frequencies.
Because while we may not all share the same genes here, we are all related by a
passion, nay, obsession with listening to the music we love at the highest, most
breathtaking quality possible.
And in our minds, that makes us kin.
In fact, we believe that every nutty, Hertz-counting audiophile out there is part of
our tribe.
That’s how we’ve built our company over the last 50 years - with the kind of care and
respect that you give to your family.
