With the increased popularity of computers as source, this U-100 USB Interface allows owners of digital-to-analogue converters
(DAC) to enjoy listening to digital music sources from a computer (Windows or Mac) via USB connection. This product is USB
1.1 and 2.0 compliant. No custom USB drivers or software programs are required. This device supports ASIO and sampling
frequencies cover 44.1kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz. It simply converts the data of music files from your computer to SPDIF signal,
which then feeds your DAC. The U-100 USB Interface utilizes the same Tenor TE7022L controller chip as that employed in highly
acclaimed Luxman DA-200 digital pre-amplifier.

3. Connect the coaxial or Toslink optical digital output on the U-100 to a corresponding digital input on your DAC as illustrated

digital signal as well as and show the output sampling frequency of the music file in your computer.
