arrow buttons and the Enter

button on the remote control
to select “USB Audio 2.0” as PC-USB Option.
• Power cycle the Amplifier and reboot your PC after changing the USB Audio
mode to ensure both units are properly configured.
Many audio playback applications do not support 384 kHz sampling rate.
Please confirm your audio player supports 384 kHz audio and you have 384
kHz audio files to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may need to
configure the audio driver in your PC to output 384 kHz or your computer may
“down sample” to a lower audio sample rate. For more information please refer
to your audio player or operating system information.
NOTE: USB Audio Class 2.0 requires installation of the Windows PC driver
on the CD ROM included with the amplifier.
NOTE: MAC computers do not require a driver to support PC-USB 1.0
or 2.0 audio.
NOTE: Upon successful installation of the driver, you may need to select
the Michi audio driver from the audio/speaker setup of your computer.
NOTE: The amplifier supports both DSD and DOP audio playback in 1X
and 2X formats. Consult your audio player to confirm proper operation
for playback of these audio formats.
