10.2.1. DSD files playback with Linux
The availability of DSD audio files is quite recent, therefore it’s possible that your player is
not able to play DSD files, or maybe its most current release it is, but not the one you have
installed on your computer. For example, MPD player, by far the most used under Linux,
only supports DSD since its 0.17 release. Be sure that your player supports DSD and refer
to the instructions provided by the player creator, or install a player which you’re sure
supports DSD.

with Windows
As explained in the introductory paragraph to the present chapter, no Microsoft operating
system natively supports USB Audio Device Class 2. To listen to music files with the
EVO
PHONODAC TWO
connected to a computer running Windows it is therefore necessary to
install a driver. The following paragraph describes the driver installation procedure.
NOTE: Installation procedure’s details may vary depending on the version of the
operating system installed on your computer. This description is meant to be
accurate with regards to the fundamental steps necessary to its successful
completion.
NOTE: The

is designed to implement the HID interface for
remote control of the player running on a computer attached by USB (see chapter
9). This could lead to compatibility problems with Windows XP. We strongly suggest
updating the operating system to a more recent version than Windows XP before
installing the driver.
10.3.1. Installing the Windows driver
First, it is necessary to download the driver from the M2Tech website at

) Here you’ll find the compressed folder
containing all installation files. It’s a self-extracting file: automatic extraction is launched by
double-clocking on its icon, as shown in Fig. 15.
