The MP 3100 HV can be operated with the listed MAC operating systems
without requiring the installation of a driver. Playback of DSD streams up to
DSD128 and PCM streams up to 384 kHz is possible with MAC operating
systems.
If the device is to be operated in conjunction with one of the stated Windows
operating systems, a dedicated driver must first be installed. With the driver
installed, it is possible to play DSD streams up to DSD512 and PCM streams
up to 384 kHz.

The drivers required, together with detailed installation instructions including
information on audio playback via USB, are available for downloading from our
website at http://www.ta-hifi.com/support
A number of system settings have to be altered if you wish to operate
MP 3100 HV with your computer. These changes must be made regardless of
the operating system. The installation instructions provide detailed information
on how and where the settings are to be changed.
 By default, the operating systems listed above do not support 'native' music
playback. This means that the PC always converts the data stream to a fixed
sample rate, regardless of the sample rate of the file to be played. Separate
software is available - e.g. J. River Media Center or Foobar - which prevents
the operating system converting the sample rate.
The installation instructions included in the driver package contain further
information on audio playback via USB.

To prevent fail functions and system crashes of your computer and the
playback program, please note the following:

For Windows OS: Install the driver before you use the MP 3100 HV for the
first time.

Use only drivers, streaming methods (e.g. WASAPI, Directsound) and
playback software which are compatible to your operating system and
between each other.

Never connect or disconnect the USB connection while the system is
running.

Do not set up the MP 3100 HV on or immediately adjacent to the computer to
which it is connected, otherwise the device could be affected by interference
radiated by the computer.
