    Windows Driver Model (WDM) gives a standard interface/driver over which the Cambridge Audio
    USB product will work natively – up to 24-bit/96kHz.
    bit/96kHz. Using the WDM driver, Windows audio output
    supports a maximum of 24-bit/96kHz
    bit/96kHz (regardless of O/S).
    O

    DirectSound is the most common method of audio transport used by the Windows operating system
    and is the default for all media players, regardless of O/S
    O versions. DirectSound is adequate for
    Windows XP but audiophiles may ay wish to avoid using DirectSound with Vista/Windows 7 as it
    creates quite extra distortion in these later O/S
    O versions.

    However, the instructions below explain how to configure your PC for use with a Cambridge Audio
    USB product using DirectSound.

    1. Connect
    ct your Cambridge Audio USB product to your PC using a USB Type A to Type B cable.
    When the USB product is switched on, a dialogue box will appear at the bottom of your
    screen letting you know that a Cambridge Audio USB 1.0 device has been connected.

    2. Enter the Control Panel and select Sound to set


    et the Cambridge Audio product as the default
    audio device

    Now, all audio output by the PC will be output via USB to the Cambridge Audio USB product.

    Important note:

    Cambridge Audio USB product will indicate that it is being sent
    sent a 96kHz signal from the PC.

    This output will always be fixed when using a player that


    outputs via. DirectSound (i.e. all media players).

    - Select the Cambridge Audio USB Audio 1.0 device


    and click properties
    - Select the Advanced tab and then select the
    preferred fixed output from the drop-down
