Install the driver after downloading it from the above page.
CAUTION
Install the driver before connecting the unit to the computer by USB.
If you connect the unit to the computer by USB before installing the

operation of the computer might become noticeably slower and it
might become necessary to restart it.

Note about transmission modes
This unit connects using asynchronous HIGH SPEED mode.
The sampling frequencies that can be used for transmission are 44.1,
48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 and 384 kHz as well as DSD at 2.8 and
5.6 MHz.
When connected correctly, you will be able to select “ESOTERIC USB
AUDIO DEVICE” as the audio output for the operating system.
In asynchronous mode, the audio data transmitted from the com-
puter will be processed using this unit’s clock, enabling it to reduce
jitter caused during data transmission.
