Connecting Multiple Devices
To connect multiple devices, you will need the appropriate cables and possibly a switch or splitter if you want to switch between devices easily. Follow these steps for a seamless setup.
Step 1: Gather Necessary Cables and Equipment
- USB cables compatible with your devices
- Optical or coaxial cables if needed
- A headphone or speaker connected to the Atom Dac+

Step 2: Connect Your Primary Device
Use a USB cable to connect your primary device, such as a computer, to the USB input on the Atom Dac+ 2026. Ensure the device recognizes the DAC as its audio output.
Step 3: Connect Additional Devices
For additional devices, connect them via optical or coaxial inputs if available. If your device only has a headphone or line-out, consider using a splitter or switch to manage multiple connections.
Using a Switch or Splitter
If you want to switch between multiple audio sources without reconnecting cables each time, a switch or audio splitter can be very useful. Connect each device to the switch inputs, and connect the switch output to the Atom Dac+.
Choosing the Right Switch
