USB Class 1.0
Following the steps in the supplied Quick Start Guide, you will be able to
improve the sound from your computer by using the DacMagic XS in its
default USB Class 1.0 mode. Instead of connecting your headphones or
3.5mm cable directly to your computer, you will instead be connecting
them to the DacMagic XS. By doing this, you are bypassing the
computer’s own internal soundcard and allowing the DacMagic XS to
perform the Digital to Analogue conversion in far higher quality, resulting
in a much better sound.
USB Class 2.0
To improve the sound even further, it is possible to use the DacMagic XS
in USB Class 2.0 mode.
Press and hold both Volume buttons to switch between USB Class 1.0
and 2.0:
Note:
Switching between USB Class modes during playback is not
recommended.
Always stop any playback before switching between USB Class modes.
Press and hold both
volume buttons for
approx. 5 seconds.
