5.1 The Computer, Software and Digital Processor
It is relatively quick and easy to connect a Mac/Windows personal computer to the DP-777 and commence play-
back. However, in order to achieve the very highest sound quality and to extract the maximum performance out of
the DP-777, optimisation of the source is strongly recommended.
The pace and change of computer audio software and operating systems is unabated. Therefore, it is not possible to
provide a detailed and up-to-date account on all the correct settings for optimal playback.
Instead, the following “Golden Rules” should be followed when setting up a computer as a Computer Audio
Source (CAS).
· Install and select the AMR ASIO driver in the playback software (MS Windows only).
· For each music file, match the computer’s output sampling rate (i.e. the input sampling rate detected by the
DP-777) exactly to the source (i.e. the music file).
· Disable all upsampling/resampling options on the computer.
· Disable all filtering options on the computer.
· Disable all sound enhancements on the computer.
· Keep the volume control at 100% on the computer.
Please refer to: http://www.amr-audio.co.uk for the latest AMR ASIO driver (for Windows) and also for the latest
optimal computer audio configurations for Mac/Windows setups.
