The interface can be connected to Windows™ Vista (SP2 or later) / Windows™ 7 or
Windows™ XP (SP3 or later) PC, Mac™ OSX (10.5.4 or later) computers or a sound server, running
streaming software to generate PCM data. The interface will work with Linux-based servers and
computers fitted with USB 2.0 interfaces that natively support USB Audio Class 1 or Class 2 operation.

Setting the USB Audio Class

There are two USB Audio classes, one of which must be set during system set-up. The Upsampler is
shipped set to USB Audio Class 2.
USB Audio Class 1: The interface operates without a special driver at up to 96kS/s.
To select Class 1, open the menu, navigate to the
button sequence is:
select the Class 1
USB Audio Class 2: The interface operates at up to 192kS/s.
For Mac OSX, version 10.6.3 or later is required.
For Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, the driver files on the dCS USB Class 2 Driver disc
supplied must be installed onto the computer before use (see below).
At the time of writing, we have not tested the driver with Windows 8, but we are told it works
well if the driver is loaded in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode.
To select Class 2, open the menu, navigate to the
button sequence is:
select the Class 2
