And Windows said: The driver for AUDIO-GD is not installed; Contact the manufacturer for help with the installation. Device manager says: This device does not start. NO Drivers needed for Mac OSX 10.6+ and Linux with UAC2 compliant kernel. KS/Wasapi/WDM/ASIO Drivers for Win7,Win8,Win10 32-64bit included at no fee. Upon Request: The user can provide a custom USB VID-PID, a custom Device Name and a custom CodeSign Certificate for WDM drivers. Audio-GD used the best femtosecond clocks available today, 2 Accusilicon for all digital inputs and another 2 Crystek clocks for the USB input. They incorporated an USB Isolator too, even the tiny power supply for the USB board is a class-A power supply, that is nuts! There is no comparison, with the Audio-Gd on a SPDIF input, it simply blows away my DAC without the converter. All I can tell you is that nothing has been this good in my system converting my music files. There has been several issues with my 8802 chip and keeping from dropping drivers, I drop drivers and have to reload them on occasion. The new drivers were downloaded. But failed to install, giving me the following error: 0x8024007. If i check for updates again, Windows Update will not find the drivers anymore, they 'disappear' and i'm unable to Install them. Using Windows 10 Home build 10074 upgraded from 8.1 Core.
| 22-8-2015 Audio-GD Master 7 Amanero Combo 384 upgrade Review by Maarten van Druten Introduction When I first reviewed the Master 7 I was so impressed by it's sound quality that I bought this dac myself. I enjoy listening to this fine dac, I'm very happy with it. One of the other reasons I bought this dac, is because it's modular (DIY) design. That means that the technology and parts are freely attainable and that all of the components can be easily replaced or upgraded by the right person. So you don't have to buy a new device every year, your precious equipment can be upgraded! But one of the side effects of being a audiophile is that it always can sound better... And also technology is constantly advancing... Mr Kingwa the designer of this dac, recently has upgraded the USB section of the Master 7. The very good sounding 'USB-32' module has now been replaced by the 'Amanero Combo 384 module' Which is an 'USB class 2 to I2S 32bit and DSD output Adapter' Amanero Combo 384 module Because of this I decided to made my own Audiophile Audio Video streamer because I wanted to have an 'I2S'output for my dac.
A lot of people that are technical skillfull can of course order the 'Amanero Combo 384 module' on the Audio-gd website and try to build it in themselves. But building this module into your dac is not so simple, some soldering has to be done and everything together will takes almost 2 hours. For less technical skilled people I advice to let your certified Audio-gd dealer do it for you I wanted to thank Rob & Jos of Magna Hifi very much for sharing this info! and very good work I couldn't wait to listen to this new 'I2S over USB' module So after receiving my dac back home, it was time to listen to music My Audio-GD Master 7 dac save back home with the Amanero USB module. For this review I connected the Master-7 dac with a cheap standard USB 2.0 cable to a USB 2.0 connector on my HTPC. Being a Audiophile also means that you are in constant learning process. When Windows 10 came out I wanted to test it, and then it happend.... Warning! Windows 10 corrupts your other DATA disks! 1) Don't use a motherboard with EUFI bios (EUFI bios is not only spyware, it's designed to keep Linux out) Other reasons to switch over to Linux: After five years, Windows still has NO native USB Audio Class 2.0 support The Pink Faun I2S Bridge uses 'proprietary drivers' to make the I2S Bridge work. (these drivers work only in Windows...) To listen to nice music with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS you first have to select the 'Amanero Combo 384' with the builtin tool called 'Sound' After starting this tool, select: 'Digital Output (S/PDIF) Combo384 Amanero' to fully enjoy the quality of the Master 7 dac. How did it sound? Listening to High Resolution Audio If you want to know...The Pink Faun I2S Bridge was my favourite for a long time and compaired with the 'old' Maarten van Druten (Audio Dandy)
Of course I will try this, but I will make a seperate review for this Master 7 in bypass mode with the Amanero Combo module What a dac! it keeps amazing me every time! Special thanks to Rob & Jos from Magna Hifi for

Please Note:
The DI-20 had built in ultra speed isolation, for work most stable, don't connect external USB isolation , just let the USB connect to computer directly.

Amanero combo 384
Please note : The product has built in Amanero USB interface, it's USB can compatible well with the WINs, Apple OS/IOS and computer type Linux /Android (Include PI,ROCK64, newer model Android phone and TV) but we can not promise it can compatible well with digital transports' USB output.
Accusilicon clocks:
The Accusilicon 45/49M Edition different to 90/98M Edition is only on the clocks (90/98M clocks price is over double times to the 45/49M) . The most different is the music sampling need higher than 49M clock frequency, the 45/49M Edition want to work with a PLL to up frequency .The 90/98M Edition work with the clock direct but not the PLL.
The Accusilicon 45/49M and TCXO Editions had assembled the clocks by sockets for easy upgradeable , the 90/98M Edition clocks had solder on board .
Please note :
Di-20 without USB cable and power cable, customer want to has the high quality cable for it . If customer has not good USB cables, please inform while place the order , we have the Ugreen USB cable for order (USD3).
Feature:
1, Built in the Amanero USB interface that is the most compatible and steady ,during test ,click and change the music track random without any hang , support WIN, OSX, IOS and Linux , and had been test with some TV that is based on Android system. (Has not test with Android phone yet ).
2, Built in 10MHz external clock input connector .
3, Built in main clock/ Wck output connector, the output clock type can set by user.
4, USB and Coaxial input (support DOP) can conversion to HDMI-IIS and coaxial output . The coaxial input and output interface had designed in the FPGA but not built in the USB chip, due the high speed of the FPGA so can improve on sound quality and support up to 384K.
5, HDMI-IIS output can set the definitions of PCM and DSD through the display menu .
6, built in the best sound R core transformer and 13 groups ultra PSU become double stage power supplies, supplys to the different signal parts separately .
7, Built in the 150M high speed isolator between USB interface and FPGA signal processor. Because the isolator can effect the data and clock transmit, so the FPGA has corrected the timing to improved on sound quality .
8, The USB inteface and FPGA processor have applied the same clocks for avoid the different clocks effect the sound quality .
9, FPGA data process mode can select either parallel or series mode .
The USB output IIS data is series transmit mode, every data must need one clock cycle to process or transmit, one frame data ( Include L and R data) must need 64 clock cycle to process or transmit, so the data has effect by the 64 clock cycles.
But the parallel data process and transmit mode only need one clock cycle can finish the one frame data process and transmit, that can avoid the effect of clock stability .
The USB input and the S/Pdif decoder output data has recombine become dual 32bit parallel data once input , and the DSD input has recombine become dual 64bit parallel data once input.
The parallel process and transmit mode can improve the sound quality on the transparency and detail but still analog.
In the parallel process mode, all data processing by 256fs clock frequency, but not the usual mode that different sampling music data with 64-256fs variable clock frequency. The fixed 256fs clock frequency makes the signal has more exact timing in phase, process with same timing to keep the sound flavor is same.
10, Full new configuration clock manage design built in, improved on the clock timing .
11, The display can show the sampling of PCM and DSD, and it can as the interface between human and machine, allow user change the setting in the unit .
12, Built in USB firmware update button and FPGA firmware update connector, update firmware without open the unit, and support sound quality upgradeable in future.
13, The digital data and clock even more easy effect by transmit than the analog signal, cause the DAC sound worse even can not work. So the DI-20 built in multiple strong drive ability chips to drive the different data and clock, to reduces the effect during transmit .
14, The 2nd generation ACSS SPdif output design that invented by Kingwa, which offers even further reduced signal degradation and better sound quality over a coaxial cable . The DI-20 also design standard coaxial output connector, with built-in silver wire isolation transformer.
