(DAC) to enjoy listening to digital music sources from a computer (Windows or Mac) via USB connection. This product is USB

1.1 and 2.0 compl iant. No custom USB drivers or soft ware programs are req uired. This devi ce support s ASIO and sampling
frequencies cover 44.1kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz. It simply converts the data of music files from your computer to SPDIF signal,
which then feeds your DAC. The U-100 USB Interface utilizes the same Tenor TE7022L controller chip as that employed in highly
acclaimed Luxman DA-200 digital pre-amplifier.
