Micromega Mydac is a pain..

I've been trying to upgrade the driver for this for 2 days now and I'm done pulling out my hair. What a joke. The driver for 24 bits/192 khz won't load with Windows 10. The tutorial supplied doesn't work, either. Thought I'd try my old desk top which runs Windows XP, and got somewhere with that. I was able to download the driver, but it still wasn't recognized with my notebook running Windows 10. I uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it still isn't recognized. Micromega doesn't respond to emails. It will work for streaming Tidal, Spotify, and Radio Tunes, but it just bothers me that I bought something that only partially works and the manufacturer won't even respond. I've had reservations about this digital business and now I see why. I've had a monster headache for 2 days now and I'm finished with it. When I think about hooking the notebook up to it I just get pi$$ed. I think if I take a huge hammer to it I'd feel a lot better.

Thanks Zd542. That may be the direction I'll have to take. I'm awaiting a return call/email from the number provided by the seller. I've also heard back from the Mydac folks. They asked if I got the download from their site, which I did. They then said when I right click on the setup.exe file I should see a pop-up with multiple tabs and I should select the compatibility tab. The only tab that appears is a general tab, nothing more. I tried multiple times on all of the files and I get the same thing. So now we play phone/email tag to see if we can work it out.
Zd542, I'll be in touch if need be on your Linux offer.

Swampwalker, when you decide to go to Windows 10, read http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html this.
That's how I set mine up. They're getting real invasive.

You know, I have nothing against streaming and computer audio or anything, but I just think it's easier to put a CD in the player and listen to music. I was recently over at a friend's home who has a beautiful system with a Linn Klimax server, but he said he couldn't play the CD I brought over because the server updated once a day or something like that. I don't get that - I can't play the music I want to play right now? What kind of enjoyment is that? In any case, to the extent I'm not listening to records, I'll just stay with CDs.

All is well in digital land. Micromega has been in constant contact with me making sure all of my settings, etc., were in order. Cedric offered to take control of my computer, so I downloaded Teamviewer 10, and we went through the set up together. Where I messed up is I didn't extract the folder, which wasn't in the tutorial. I'm not totally computer literate, so I didn't know that had to be done. I asked if the tutorial will be amended and he said they are in the process of a new download right now, possibly ready in a month or so.
Happy again.
