If you use a USB hub, choose one with its own AC power adapter. In areas that
produce high levels of radio or electrical interference, upgrading to a quality USB
cable, i.e., one with extra shielding and a ferrite bead (the cylindrical collar on
one end of the cable) to help eliminate noise. Once you’re properly connected,
your computer’s operating system should automatically detect your NuForce
product. From that moment on, all you need to do is enjoy the music.
Windows PC Driver Optimization
ASIO4ALL is a hardware-independent, low-latency ASIO driver for WDM audio
devices that employs WDM Kernel-Streaming and other sophisticated methods.
What You Should NOT Do
Do not tamper with or replace your existing sound-card drivers.
Do not install any kernel-mode components that might affect your system’s
stability.
Do not “over-clock” or operate your audio hardware in ways that have the
potential to do harm. This will void your warranty. (In certain cases, your
hardware’s manufacturer states that the use of ASIO4ALL will void your warranty.)
No software-driver optimization is required for the Apple Mac OS.
S/PDIF Connection
The Icon HDP permits an S/PDIF connection from your computer, if that’s your
preference. For best results, use a high-quality S/PDIF cable. Once the
connection is made, select S/PDIF in your System Preferences Audio Device
settings.
