After a successful installation, the Okto Research icon will appear in your system tray. If the
unit is connected to the computer, it will be recognized by the driver, as shown in the
following image.
Please note: this driver will only work with units running firmware 1.2 and newer. Units with
older firmware have different USB identifiers and will not be recognized. Please contact us
to receive an ASIO driver compatible with older firmware versions.
Once the installation is complete, the "Okto Research USB device" will become available in
any ASIO-capable playback software. The following image shows the output device setting
in JRiver:
To reduce latency, navigate to the USB driver's control panel, select the "Buffer Settings"
tab, and change the buffer size in the dropdown menu. The dac8 Stereo is tested to work
with 1.5 ms output latency for playback and 1.67 ms for recording; however, the host
computer must be able to provide data in a timely manner to avoid buffer underruns and
dropouts during playback.
