The USB in

put is capable of accepting up to 24 bit 192 kHz USB data streams. The incoming data sample rate

is accurately displayed on screen for reference.

N.B. This shows the actual

raw sample rate of the digital data going into the M1 SDAC; which is not necessarily

the same as the original source material sample rate as stored on the computer. Also computer software and

settings can dictate actual sample rate coming from computer USB port. Please refer to computer or software

documentation for best advice on setting up.

Computer settings for USB

A good quality USB 2.0 A to B cable is required to connect the unit to the computer. Normal USB standards

stipulate that this should be 5M or less; and we recommend keeping it as short as possible.

Plug the B (square) end into the socket in the back of the unit, and the A (rectangle) end into a free USB socket

on the computer.

The computer should now detect the new hardware:

Linux kernel 2.6.33 or later see P.20

Apple OS X

® 10.6.4 or later see P.19

No other drivers are required for the above operating systems.

For PCs running Widows XP, Vista and 7, a driver disk (CD) is required. This is supplied with the M1 SDAC.

Consult the reseller/dealer if the driver disk (CD) is missing.

Windows

® XP (SP3) see P.22 (p. 21 if Windows® XP does not have Service Pack 3 installed).

Windows

® Vista, 7 or later see P.30

Earlier operating systems are not supported.

Additionally, the use of third party software such as “ASIO” or similar is not supported by Musical Fidelity. In

case of difficulty with any of these software types, please consult the relevant software documentation and/or its

support services.

CD, MP3, WAV, AAC/+, OGG, FLAC, and any other audio file types played on suitable playback software

should now play through the unit.

Please note: This USB input has a high speed serial data processor, and by its nature, requires a very high

volume of USB band width. It will benefit greatly from being the only device connected on its USB ‘bus’. Sharing

the same bus with other devices include could cause unwanted artifacts such as dropouts or temporary loss of

signal. This especially includes the use of the unit on a USB hub/splitter whether alongside other USB

components or not. A direct connection to the host computer by shortest USB 2.0 lead possible is very much

recommended.
