Micromega MyDac and Windows XP

I finally have my 192 driver installed, which allowed me to enable kernel streaming for the first time. 24/192 files sound wonderful. Keep in mind I'm running Windows XP.

My problem may have been user error but after deleting all MicroMega files, I began from scratch. I kept the MyDac unplugged and unconnected until the software asked for it. When I plugged it in and connected it, Windows recognized it with a pleasing sound (new device detected) and the driver software installed. This allowed me to choose the kernel streaming option in JRiver 17. I should note that I also have a Dragonfly DAC attached that I use for my computer desktop speakers and I can now easily switch between the DACs (using a combination of the Control Panel and JRiver 17) without trouble. The MyDac goes to a Linn Kairn, then Linn Akurate 242s bi-amped with Klouts.

Success, satisfaction, and great value from this nifty French unit.

Excellent! Thanks for letting us know.

I'm a MyDAC user too (MAC) and am very impressed with the quality of the music it produces. I've listened to several budget minded DAC's and found the MyDAC to be the most listenable of all of them.

Speaking of Linn, I use to own an all Linn aktiv system and I find that the MyDAC is dangerously close to the performance of my Linn Unidisk 1.1. It's astonishing how far digital processing has come in the past few years!

Enjoy your new DAC Ganiardr, your persistence will be rewarded with wonderful music!
