USB playback
The CSA100 asynchrony USB converter module has a power supply and power transformer
secondary winding of its own. It is capable of working with 32-bit files with 384 kHz signal
frequency.
We use a modified version of the
“Amanero” USB module.
The USB module requires a driver
for Windows to recognize it.
You will find a link to the Windows driver and a guide for installation on page 8 in this manual.
MAC OS and LINUX computers works without drivers.
Only use USB 2.0 rated cable, i.e., a maximum length of 3 metres.
The capability of CSA100 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originally made.
Using CSA100 with a MAC OS
MAC OS does not require any driver installation.
After turning the amplifier on and plugging it in by the USB, the device should show up on the
MAC.
Note: The MAC will not describe the device as CSA100 but as Amanero Combo module.
To verify what is going on, please go to the “apple sign” in top left corner of the screen
and
choose PREFERENCES and then the loudspeaker icon
–
SOUND then go to OUTPUT - on the
list of devices for sound output the Amanero should appear as enabled.
Next thing to set the MIDI SETTINGS of the MAC computer. Go to the top right corner
of the
screen and press search icon “SPOTLIGHT”: Type MIDI SETUP and enter.
To select the sample rate: Click “Combo384 Amanero”
and select the sample rate.
