Windows PCs do not comply with USB 2.0 standards so single driver is needed to insure 24/192 streaming. The DAC•iT x ’s USB digital input accepts music files from your computer’s hard drive and streams from internet radio Apps like MOG, Pandora, RDio, and Spotify.

Avoid plugging and unplugging the USB input multiple times in a short time span. It usually is not a problem but increases the chance of a voltage spike to the USB input.
