Note about transmission modes
This unit connects using asynchronous HIGH SPEED mode.
The sampling frequencies that can be transmitted are 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz, 352.8 kHz and 384 kHz.
2.8MHz, 5.6MHz and 11.2MHz DSD are also supported.
o 11.2MHz DSD is only supported with DSD Native playback. It is not
supported with DoP (DSD Audio over PCM Frames) playback.
When connected correctly, you will be able to select "ESOTERIC USB
AUDIO DEVICE" as the audio output for the operating system.
In asynchronous mode, the audio data transmitted from the com-
puter will be processed using this unit's clock, enabling it to reduce
jitter caused during data transmission.
