Just finished installing Windows 10, and yes, the driver can be installed using compatibility mode.  Thanks

Confirmed...the NAD rep is wrong.  Install using compatibility mode.

Compatibility mode was not needed in the final ver of win 10 64-bit.
the M51 driver worked right away.

Wow! Excellent! Good to know!

Wow! Excellent! Good to know!

if you are running the 32 bit version of Windows 8.1 it will give an error message, but will allow you to install in compatibility mode. I should know, because I upgraded to 10. I'm using a CAPS V.3 carbon

As an alternative to connecting a PC to the M51 via USB, there is the possibility to connect a Miracast adapter to the HDMI1 or 2 input and then connect the PC (or any Smarphone that supports Micracast for that matter) wirelessly. Disadvantage might be that one has lower sampling rates (My Galaxy S6 connects @48k) but the advantage is that you have a stable wireless HDMI connection that anyone can use without having to install any drivers

That is interesting, good tip for sure.

Anyone know if one can use a digital RCA to XLR cable on the m51?
 
I would like to have one more coax input and know by direct experience that this can be done with Lavry DA11 and Violectric V800. 
 
Thanks

Thanks, I really thought I ****ed up on that one

 A very reasonable little device to consider is the Melodius MX-U8 SPDIF converter. I'm not sure if I could claim it makes an improvement in sound quality, but many highly experienced users feel it does. The driver for the MX-U8 works under Windows 10 without an issue. I now take the USB out from the computer to the MX-U8 then use an AES cable to the M51. Very affordable combination and at least it is Win 10 able. I'm sure in a few weeks NAD will provide an updated driver anyway.

Can anyone tell me what the point of a 12v out is?
