Type: USB-B Asynchronous socket

USB Audio Class 2 endpoint with supported sample rates from 44.1k to {{{1}}}

The Linn DSM is a USB stream player. It does NOT recognise a USB hard drive/USB stick as a Music STREAMING source.

Connect this USB socket into a Windows7/8/10/11 PC, MAC or USB-C socket of an iPad/iPhone² and be a Sound card for these devices.¹.

• DSD audio will typically be transcoded to PCM, by the PC/MAC, before transporting down the USB cable to the Linn DSM

Note:

¹: The Linn DSM will playback the audio dictated by the PC/MAC sound driver.

On Mac you can go into the Sound Settings, after you select the USB Output, and adjust what audio format is played.
On a Windows PC you will need to get an audio driver that supports higher bit-rates. (For example: Adding a PCI card or module into your PC to get these higher bit-rates)
