USB playback
The CSA70 asynchrony USB converter module has a power supply and power transformer
secondary winding of its own. It accepts data input from 16 to 24-bit files and sampling rates
up to 192 kHz.
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 7 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 CSA70 to play high resolution digital recordings 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originally made.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 CSA70 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 CSA70 but as Amanero Combo module.
