Page 7: Digital Connections
On Mac OS and Linux, no driver is needed thanks to the USB Audio Class 2.0 standard used by the unit, and the DAC8 PRO will be recognized as an 8-channel playback device and an 8-channel recording device. The only action required by the user is to select the DAC8 PRO in your operating system’s audio control panel. - Page 8 ASIO playback with “ASIO Bridge / Hi – Fi Cable” by VB-Audio, that is available as a donationware on vb-audio.com/Cable/. After being installed, the ASIO Bridge will appear as a new audio output audio device and needs to be selected as default: 8 | DAC8 PRO Owner’s Manual...

Page 9: Aes/Ebu
The DAC8 PRO offers 4 AES/EBU inputs that are free of resampling. That allows for a bit- perfect playback by the DAC8 PRO as well as recording at the USB host side, but it also requires the inputs to be mutually synchronized and carry signals with matching sampling rates. -
Page 10: Analog Connections
Main outputs The main analog outputs provide an extremely accurate analog representation of the digital signal received by the DAC8 PRO’s selected input. The full-scale voltage level is 4.1 V RMS and the output impedance is 200 Ohm differentially. The outputs are protected against long-term short circuit. -
Page 11: Input Modes
Input modes Because the DAC8 PRO is an asynchronous device in regard to its USB input, it sets the pace of the rate in which samples are coming from the USB host when the USB playback is active. On the other hand, AES/EBU connections require a synchronous operation of the receiving device with the transmitting device as they have no receiver-to-transmitter feedback path and the clock signal is encoded in the data stream instead. -
Page 12: Controls
Controls DAC8 PRO can be fully controlled with either a rotary control including a push-on switch or an IR remote in an intuitive way. Additionally, any IR remote can be used thanks to the learning function. If you ordered an Apple Remote together with your DAC8 PRO, it will come paired with the unit. -
