Introduction

This guide is to provide basic installation and setup instructions for the Mytek

Stereo192-DSD DAC with Music Servers supporting DSD playback. These configurations are
the results of extensive testing and development to provide the best possible user experiences.

A note about DSD audio. DSD in it’s common form is DSD64x, this is the native format

of SACDs. 64x refers to 64 x CD quality (44.1 khz sampling frequency) with the advent of direct
digital playback using the computer and certain hard disk recorders DSD128x is now possible.
This format allows for 128 x CD quality and further pushes digital fidelity towards a more
accurate natural listening experience. The Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC supports both DSD64x
and DSD128x playback. Currently DSD128x is implemented with Windows, USB2, ASIO
Drivers and Native DSD Streaming. Future firmware revisions will allow for DOP playback of
DSD128x files on both OSX and Windows.

These Music Servers herein support PCM (.wav, .aif, .mp3. flac, etc) files up to 32 bits at

192 khz and Native DSD64x and DSD128x (.dff, .dsf, .iso) files. Meaning Audio files are played
back “Bit Perfect” with no upsampling, downsampling or conversion (unless so desired). The
MYTEK Stereo192-DSD DAC offers the choice between USB2.0 and FireWire for each
software option giving users ultimate flexibility in configuring their unique listening experiences.
