CAS system
(If you don't use the USB input function of T2, you won’t need the following settings)
1) Operation System
T2 Driver and hardware system support Win XP, Vista, Win 7 of 32Bit/64Bit, Win 8 of
32Bit/64Bit operating systems. For Apple Mac OS, later versions than the 10.5.7 are well
matched, doesn’t need to install driver.
2) Player
T2 is not limited to any special media player, any PC compatible player is well matched. In
Windows system, we recommend JRiver Media Center for good sound performance.
3) Music Format
Music format is up to the media player. T2 doesn’t require any special music format, it can
decode any music format as long as the media player support it. For example, JRiver Media
Player can wonderfully play formats likeAPE, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and MP3, etc.
4) The dedicated driver of T2
T2 can support Microsoft operating systems of Win XP, Vista, Win7 32bit/64bit, Win8
32bit/64bit. At present, all the operating systems of Microsoft neither support the audio driver
of 480Mbps USB2.0, nor support the output of 24Bit/192K USB audio data. The commonly
used Microsoft driver of USB audio device is sort of USB 2.0 full-speed, whose maximum
transmission rate is 12Mbps, it supports at most 24Bit/96K audio data. Some USB audio DAC
can support playing the music of 192K sample rate, but it processes 192K audio data just
under the condition of installing a universal driver called "Thesycon" and with many complex
settings, which is unavoidable to meet problems of compatibility and stability, and can’t ensure
the best performance of the whole system. However, with the different hardware system, the
dedicated driver of T2 can avoid those problems fundamentally.
5) PC Configuration Requirements
Operating system of Win XP (SP2 or SP3), Vista, Win7 32bit/ 64bit, Win 8 32bit/64bit or later
versions of the 10.5.7 Mac operating system. At least one USB port is required.
An acceptable USB2.0 high-speed cable of type A plug to type B plug. User is suggested to
take high-quality USB cable for stable data transmission and guarantee the best performance,.
6) Other Requirement
Communication between T2 and PC is real-time and it has some requirements for PC
hardware and software platforms. If the platform is bad or the PC is very busy, it will cause T2
to work unstably as well as some other abnormal statuses. In such cases, try to run the dpclat.
exe(http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml) to check whether the Ethernet,
Wireless LAN or other equipments have affected the working of T2.
