REVISION PrA – DECEMBER 2020
8.2.1. DSD files playback with Linux
The availability of DSD audio files is quite recent, therefore it's possible that your player is
not able to play DSD files, or maybe its most current release it is, but not the one you have
installed on your computer. For example, MPD player, by far the most used under Linux,
only supports DSD since its 0.17 release. Be sure that your player supports DSD and refer
to the instructions provided by the player creator, or install a player which you're sure
supports DSD.
8.3. Using the YOUNG MKIV with Windows
As explained in the introductory paragraph to the present chapter, at the moment only
Windows 10 offers a limited support to USB Audio Device Class 2. To listen to music files
with the YOUNG MKIV connected to a computer running Windows it is therefore strongly
suggested (Windows 10) or necessary (Windows 8.1 and older versions) to install a driver.
Please read the related Application Note on M2Tech website for details about driver
installation.
The Windows driver is compliant to ASIO, therefore it supports native DSD.
NOTE: The YOUNG MKIV is designed to implement the HID interface for remote
control of the player running on a computer attached by USB (see chapter 9). This
could lead to compatibility problems with Windows XP. We strongly suggest
updating the operating system to a more recent version than Windows XP before
installing the driver.
