Thank you for purchasing a miniDSP USBStreamer USB audio interface. The USBStreamer comes in two versions.
The box version can be used in two modes by loading different firmware:
•
Eight channels of input/output via ADAT (optical). This is the default when the USBStreamer B box version is
shipped from miniDSP.
•
Two channels (stereo) input/output via TOSLINK (optical).
The kit version can be used in several modes by loading different firmware:
•
Eight channels of I2S via header pins plus two channels via TOSLINK (optical). This is the default when the
USBStreamer kit board is shipped from miniDSP.
•
Eight channels of input/output via ADAT (optical).
•
Two channels (stereo) input/output via TOSLINK (optical).
•
Eight channels of I2S via header pins, with support for sample rates as low as 8 kHz.
•
TDM input and output up to 96 kHz, 8 or 16 channels.
Typical applications for the USBStreamer include hi-fi systems and recording studios. The kit version can be built into
multichannel DACs, ADCs and digital audio interfaces, with connection to the USBStreamer via the I2S headers.
Most firmware versions include files with two different IDs. If two USBStreamers are to be connected to the same
computer, make sure that each has firmware with a different ID.
