Connecting a computer
You can connect a computer to the USB1 socket on your LINA Network DAC. For best results,
we recommend using a premium music streaming program instead of software included with
the operating system.
The USB1 socket can operate in two audio classes:
• Class 1, which accepts data at up to 96kS/s. No additional drivers need to be
installed on the connected computer.
• Class 2, which accepts data at up to 384kS/s, or DSD/64 or DSD/128 in DoP format.
A dCS USB Class2 driver needs to be installed on computers running Windows™
versions before Windows™ 10 Creator's Update. No additional driver needs to be
installed on Apple desktops and notebooks running macOS10.6.3 or above.
The USB1 socket has been tested with various PCM streaming programs on
Windows™ 10, Windows™ 8.1, and macOS10.11. However, the socket may not work
with all devices, operating systems, or software.
► For more information, see "Setting the USB audio class" on page36.
1. Using a USB cable, connect a computer to the USB1 socket on the rear of the unit.
2. Change the source input on the unit to USB / PC.
