Using DAC215 with a PC- (The Set up below is with Windows 8)

The USB driver can be found at this link:
www.amanero.com/drivers
1.
Download the package:
combo384_drivers_xp_win7_win8_1057.zip

Unpack the downloaded package in a folder
3.
Run Setup_drivers_xp_win7_win8_32_64.exe

”Manage Audio Devices”. “Amanero Technologies USB Driver 1.0.57” appears as the

o select the sample rate: Double click “Amanero USB Driver”

.
Under
“Digital outputs properties” click “Advanced” and select the sample rate.
The capability of DAC215 to play the high resolution of 384 kHz does not mean that you need
recordings or up sampling of that resolution.
We recommend that you listen to the recordings at the resolution settings they were originally
made.
