Using the tube headphone amplifier connected to a
Mac/PC
You can connect the HE 1 via USB directly to your Mac or PC and use it as an
audio output device. Depending on the driver and settings used, high-resolu-
tion music files can be reproduced via the high-quality DAC (digital-to-analog
converter) of the HE 1.
Notes on DSD reproduction
Information on the possible configuration options for your Mac or PC for
native reproduction of DSD music files using third-party software can be
found on the HE 1 product page at www.sennheiser.com/download.
