The DS-DAC-10R operates on USB bus power. It does not need an AC
adaptor or any other external power supply.
Use the included USB cable to connect the unit to your computer and to
verify that it's working.
Whenever possible, you should connect this unit directly to a USB port
on your computer. If you cannot avoid using a USB hub, you should use
a USB hub that has its own power supply. A bus-powered USB hub may
be unable to supply enough power.
