The D1 worked on my GF's PC (Windows 10) and my laptop (Windows 7), when it was connected to those machines (using the USB cable that comes with the D1) it was immediately identified and in the 'playback' devices menu it was shown as the 'Audioengine D1'. On my PC however it refused to be recognized by my Windows 10. The D1 reflects traditional Audioengine design and the audio fidelity is typical of Audioengine’s commitment to great sound at an affordable price. This premium 24-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) allows you to bypass your computer’s sound card or headphone output and send audio through USB or optical. Add the Audioengine D1 DAC to your system, though, and you'll enjoy dramatically better sound. You can even get the most out of high-res 24/96 music files! The D1 is compatible with both Mac and PC, and requires no drivers; simply connect it to your computer using. The Audioengine D1 Audioengine. Audioengine is one of my favorite brands. For me it all started with their petite A2 speakers ($199/pair), and then I gushed over their P4 speakers ($249/pair). Jan 01, 2013 From the solid feel to the smooth edges along with the most important aspect, the sound output, the D1 is another Audioengine winner. Less expensive portable DAC’s can be found on eBay, but none with the construction, finish quality and pedigree of the D1. For a USB-only powered budget DAC, consider the Audioengine’s D1 a top-tier contender.

D1 Internal Converter
The D1 uses the AK4396 DAC, which is well-regarded for its low noise and high fidelity. Due to the high signal-to-noise specs of the AK4396 and the added benefit of double redundancy power source conversion and filtering, the D1 presents impressive low noise and low distortion characteristics. The D1 can process digital audio at any bit depth up to 24-bits and any sample rate up to 192kHz.

Hello.I'm new to this forum but I would like to ask for your opinion on some questions I have.
Audioengine D1 Drivers For Mac Os
I just bought a DAC (Audioengine D1) because I wanted to give the 'best' sound quality to my headphones (Sennheiser Game One), but my audio knowledge is limited so here I am.
Although everything seems to be working fine I have some questions I can't find answer to on Google.
The FAQ from Audioengine says:
Why do I lose system volume control when using the D1 with my computer?
Optical and USB outputs are all digital, so both Windows and Mac OS X will disable the system volume control when they are in use. You can still control the volume directly in iTunes (or any media player), with the front panel volume control on the D1, or with the volume control on your audio system.Which is true if I use the USB connection, but I'm currently using the Optical cable as the input (for convenience purposes) and I still have the 'normal' Windows volume control.
EDIT: It seems the USB input also provides system volume control.
Is this normal?
Another question I have is if WASAPI is worth using over DirectSound.
Audioengine D1 Drivers For Mac Windows 10
I've been reading about how to use it on Media Player Classic and music players, but it's a bit complicated and it seems to produce crackling sounds when I start and stop the music track.Is it really worth using WASAPI from a sound quality perspective?
I appreciate any input.
