Mac/Linux ASIO Driver Installation

• No Drivers for these operating systems is needed.           

• See limitations in specification.

The first step required in the Windows setup process is to 

install the ASIO driver: 

• Don’t connect the DAC unit to the PC until the driver is 

installed. 

Don’t worry if you’ve connected the device already. Just 

disconnect it. 

• Download the latest driver from 

http://www.amanero.com/drivers.htm

• Don't use setup packages downloaded from other 

websites. 

• Unzip the installation package and double-click on 

Install.exe to start the installation. Follow the instructions. In 

most cases you just need to accept the defaults on the 

following screens.

 Direct Stream Digital, also known as DSD format - this 

format is not new as many people think, it is as old as 

digital but it wasn’t used for consumer audio or home 

audio - before. It became very popular after 2010 and 

continues to make its way into our homes. 

It encodes the music in the data stream differently, looks 

differently and sounds differently. It is the format in which 

the SACD discs were recorded and a format in which the 

analog master tapes were backed up by record 

companies. It is currently the format in which the master 

recordings are made in record industry.
