Congrats on the D400!
The XLR connections are AES/EBU inputs for PCM/DSD 64 input only - they won't accept analog inputs. Line level analog inputs (from your receiver for example) to the Dev are via single ended RCA format (keep in mind the analog signal is converted to PCM before being processed) - so as far as using the D400 for two channel music - two options as I see it:
1. Use a stereo digital out from your receiver and plug into a rca (or AES/EBU or optical . . ) digital in on the Dev or
2. take the analog line level output from the receiver and plug into the rca stereo input - keeping in mind that the Devialet will digitize this . .
my 2 cents would be for option 1 - keep things in the digital domain . .
Cheers
