If your connected via HDMI then the configuration is in the Media Center (JRivers) software, not the XMC-1.

The USB Stream input of the XMC-1 does not support Multi-channel audio.

From the XMC-1 manual....

"Like most audiophile DACs, this input supports two-channel PCM audio at sample rates between 44.1 kHz and 192 kHz at 16 bit or 24 bit depth, and does NOT support most multi-channel digital audio formats, including multi-channel PCM audio or DSD. However, it DOES support playback of DTS encoded CDs and audio les (including both two- channel and surround sound types)."

If you want multi-channel audio playback, you must use HDMI audio or a SPDIF input that supports MCH-PCM.

Hope this helps...
