The RA-1592 supports both USB Audio Class 1.0 and USB Audio Class
2.0 modes. Windows computers do not require installation of a driver for

rates. The Factory Default setting is USB Audio Class 1.0.
To take advantage of USB Audio Class 2.0 audio playback supporting
up to 192kHz sampling rates you will need to install the Windows driver

Many audio playback applications do not support 192kHz sampling rate.
Please confirm your audio player supports 192kHz audio and you have
192kHz audio files to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may
need to configure the audio driver in your PC to output 192kHz or your
computer may "down sample" to a lower audio sample rate. For more
information please refer to your audio player or operating system information.
NOTE: USB Audio Class 2.0 requires installation of the Windows PC
