On delivery, the USB-DDC 24/192 is set to Full Speed mode. This mode supports music files at up to 24 bits and 96 kHz. No driver is required for all OS incl. 64bit systems.
Connect the device using the supplied USB cable to a free USB port on your computer and select it as the playback device in the Sound menu (Windows) or in the Audio-MIDI setup (Mac OS). You can set the sample rate and the playback resolution here. Then connect the digital output of the USB-DDC to the digital input of the D/A converter. The device is ready to use straight away and lights up red as soon as music is played. After installation is completed, the USB-DDC 24/192 replaces the internal sound card of your computer.

If you are experienced in playing music via USB, you can use a jumper to switch the device to 24 bits and 192 kHz. Look here for more information on that topic. Keep in mind that operation in 24/192 High-Speed-Mode requires a driver to be installed on Windows computers.
We recommend to use 24/192 mode for playback only if you really want to play native files in 24/192!
