I think that an SD card is the source. I don't see a USB port of any sort, now that I look at that picture more carefully, but I might be missing something. https://www.auneaudio-europe.com/index.php/aune-aune-x5s-24bit-dsd-digital-audio-player-black.html?___store=auneeng&___from_store=aunenl Living room: Synology 218+ NAS > NUC 10 i7 > HQP Embedded > xfinity Xfi Router > Netgear GS348 Switch > Sonore Optical Module Deluxe > Sonore Signature Rendu SE Optical Tier 2 > Okto DAC 8 Stereo > Topping Pre90 Preamp > Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini > Revel F32 Concertas Computer Desk System: Synology DS-218+ NAS > Dell XPS 8930/NUC 10 i7 > HQP Desktop > xfinity Xfi Router > EtherRegen > ultraRendu > Topping D90 DAC > Audioengine A5+'s Link to comment

Which leads me to: What the heck is that USB input DOING there? A “maybe” does come to mind: Devices with USB outs like computers, phones possibly, can plug in their output is processed/buffered to be sent on to a DAC. Maybe? What’s your take, Alex? Sorry, I appear to have been looking at a different Aune device in the link that I posted.
