![]() ![]() If one is using Remote Desktop (C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe) to access the Windows computer that’s going to be sending bits to Upsampler, it’s slightly more complicated. I imagine that one could play audio CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray Discs on the Windows computer for sound, but I’ve not essayed that.ī. ![]() At this point, Upsampler is the audio playback Default Device for this computer and should play - through one’s stereo system via Upsampler! - things like audio from Idagio, audio from Microsoft Edge (eg, YouTube videos) and so forth. If somehow it is not, select Upsampler from the dropdown for playback Default Device. If one is using a physical login to the Windows computer, Windows key/Settings/System/Sound will bring up the Sound control menu (aka C:\Windows\System32\mmsys.cpl): “Speakers dCS Vivaldi Upsampler Plus” should already be the playback Default Device. Once the Windows computer is rebooted (if one did that), things are almost set to go.Ī.(A built-in USB driver will be employed.) ![]() Step 3a) is not needed if one has chosen (or will choose) USB Audio Class 1 in dCS Mosaic.Whether or not step 3a) was chosen, it may be necessary (or at least wise) to reboot the Windows computer at this point. I didn’t really understand what the instructions were getting at here, so I just said Yes.ī. Iv.Ět the end of installing the driver, the user is asked whether s/he wants to finish at once and then connect the Upsampler. Install the driver by running the installer program just downloaded (I believe this requires the installing user to have Administrator privileges). Ii.ĝownload the dCS Audio Class driver (see the Upsampler manual for where to find this driver with its installer). If USB Audio Class 2 was chosen (step 2b) above) On the Windows system to which the USB cable has been attached -Ī.(Note: The choice of Class 1 or Class 2 is independent of whether USB1 or USB2 is/will be used for cabling.) Choosing Class 2 entails further action (step 3b) below). Because Class 2 offers a higher bit rate, I chose that in Device (still under Audio in Mosaic). There are 2 USB Audio classes available in Upsampler. In the dCS Mosaic app (running, for example, on an Android phone) -Ī.Ĝlick Audio and then choose USB/PC for Source.ī.(If one is using a type-A/type-B cable, I don’t think it matters which end is plugged into the ports, so long as the cable ends fit into the ports.) ![]() (Upsampler comes with a type-A/type-B USB cable.) As far as I can tell, which port one chooses is immaterial: Upsampler will sense into which of its ports a USB cable has been plugged and will then use that port. Upsampler calls these ports USB1 and USB2, respectively. Upsampler has 2 USB ports, one taking a type-B connector (leftmost USB port on the back, as one faces the Upsampler unit), the other, inner USB port taking a type-A connector. Attach a USB cable (USB 2.0 is fine) between Upsampler and the Windows computer.So, I thought: Why not a point-to-point connection, like USB? I also don’t know a way – other than Roon – to stream something via local ethernet to the Upsampler. I don’t know a way to get Roon to stream something like Idagio. I ordinarily use Roon to stream music bits via local ethernet from a Windows 10 Pro 圆4 server to my Upsampler. I thought I’d document one way to get a USB connection between a Windows 10 Pro computer and dCS Vivaldi Upsampler.įirst, why did I embark on this quest? I wanted to try the Idagio service on my stereo system. ![]()
