Received my long anticipated Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC today, and was ready to do some serious listening. The instructions are quite minimal; plug in the cables and power and should be good to go. Unfortunately my music server is still a Window XP based machine, and more and more drivers are not supported, so I was ready for this to be the case, it did not disappoint I then used a newer Windows 7 machine which has always worked with my newer audio devices, again NO GO.
USB Audio 2.0
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, and tried another USB cable without success. The Windows troubleshooter could not find a better driver.
Finally I brought in my Windows 10 laptop, and the driver installed fine, and I was finally able to listen to a few tunes and was pleasantly surprised, but have not done any serious listening as most of my devices are by my desktop machines.
Has anyone found a workaround for the driver issue on older OS Machines?
I was also pleasantly surprised to see the RED indicator light go to WHITE when a digital music signal was present on the Windows 10 machine. Seeing the RED indicator initially on my first tries had made me think I had a bad device.
