# How to connect Preciso to Rivo+?



Preciso can be connected to Rivo+ via USB or via I2S over HDMI. Both connections support up to PCM 768 kHz/32-bit and DSD512.

### Connection via USB

1.  Connect the USB output of Rivo+ to the USB input of Preciso.
    
2.  Power on Preciso first, then Rivo+.
    
3.  Select the USB input on Preciso with the left knob.
    
4.  In Volumio go to `Settings` → `Playback Options` → `Output Device` and select Preciso, then save.
    

### Connection via I2S

1.  Connect the I2S (HDMI) output of Rivo+ to the I2S input of Preciso with a standard HDMI cable, as short as possible.
    
2.  Power on Preciso first, then Rivo+.
    
3.  Select the I2S input on Preciso with the left knob.
    
4.  In Volumio go to `Settings` → `Playback Options` → `Output Device` and select `S/PDIF + AES/EBU + I2S`, then save.
    

> **Warning:** Preciso is already configured to work with Rivo+ via I2S, so no I2S mode or channel setting is needed on the DAC. Only one output can be active at a time: to switch between USB and I2S, change the output device in the Volumio app.
