The North Star Essentio DAC can connect to digital sources like a CD transport, DAT tape, or DVD player via COAX or OPTICAL inputs. If your smart TV has a compatible digital output (COAX or OPTICAL), it can connect directly without a PC.

However, for USB connections, the Essentio requires proprietary drivers installed on a PC or Mac. The document does not provide an alternative source for drivers if the installation disc is missing. Therefore, without the disc, driver installation is not possible based on the provided information.
