Notes on the USB audio modes
If you use standard software (e.g. Windows Media Player or Apple
iTunes), the best possible transmission mode is limited by the oper-
ating system (the played music file is mixed with System Sounds and
adapted to the sample rate and bit depth set for the WDM driver).
For native reproduction of high-resolution files (without driver-
induced adaptation of sample rate and bit depth; 32 bits/up to
384 kHz or DSD files), you require an ASIO driver and special third-
party software, which transmits the music file natively from the
player software to the DAC of the HDV 820 (see page 12).
