# What is the Digital inputs switch in Sources?



The `Digital inputs` switch in `Sources` enables the Premium Digital Input feature. It lets you play audio from an external USB device with an audio input through Volumio.

For example, with a USB audio interface with a phono input, you can connect a turntable, select it as a source and send it to your DAC through Volumio.

> **Warning:** Without a USB input device connected, the switch has no effect. You can turn it off if you don't need this feature.
