Hi guys I'm a little lost on how to set this up.

So I got two a5+s. Out of the main a5+ is two rcas running to the sub, some speaker wire connection to the second a5+.

I have an oppo ha-1 USB dac/amp connected to my PC via USB.

I don't know how to connect my a5+s to the ha-1. Right now I'm Just connecting the a5s directly to my pc with an audio cable but Inwas thinking it might be worth running them through my dac/amp. I did try some white and red rcas but connecting them to the dac/amp did nothing.

Hope to get some help thanks for reading

Did you run the RCA cables from the HA-1's Pre Out (RCA) to the input (RCA) on the A5+?

Yes? I have one lot of rcas going to the sub (which are still connected) and I ran the other lot from the two remaining holes on the a5 to the ha1
You might try contacting Audioengine's tech support.

That sounds about correct. I can't imagine why that isn't working

You have two pairs? Or two pieces? Because you're supposed to, considering music is recorded in stereo, ie, left and right.

The A5+ output might be a bypass output. Try putting the S8 ahead of the A5+.

Thank you for the excellent photo ProtegeManiac and to everyone else.

I will give it a go and I guess if that doesn't work my next step will be contact audioengine.

Cheers
