Troubleshooting

Owner’s Reference DirectStream DAC

In any of these cases the remedy is quite simple. Remove the device and force Windows to

reinstall the driver and the device.

DirectStream will show up under device manager as “PS Audio PerfectWave DSD” It should

show up under a heading “PS Audio USB 2.0 Audio Devices”, this is the USB2.0 driver.

The entry under “Sound video and game controllers” is the USB1.0 fallback driver.

DirectStream has enough output gain to directly drive most power ampliers without a

preamplier. DirectStream's volume control is a no-loss design and may be used at any

setting from 1 to 100 without fear of resolution loss.

However, if there is too much gain when you connect directly to a preamplier or power

amplier, it is possible to select a lower output gain setting. To do so, go to the setup

touch screen on DirectStream and choose the lower output option (see the Quick Start

guide). You can also turn the output attenuator on or o by pressing the Filter button on

DirectStream's remote control.
