Micromega MyDac and Windows XP

Via a USB A/B cable as intended. During installation of the driver, you are asked to disconnect and reconnect the DAC. This is where the program seems to fail. It doesn't recognize and configure the DAC (I think) although Windows knows it's there as I can choose it as my output device (alongside options for Dragonfly and my soundcard).

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried most but will start again from scratch. BTW, the same driver install issue occurs with Windows 7 on my laptop. Will report back.

Uninstall and reinstall fails. The actual dialogue box within the installer says to 'remove, reinstall and turn on the device you wish to install.' Anyway, I tried it both ways to no avail. Next step is talking to the U.S. Distributor.

I finally have my 192 driver installed, which allowed me to enable kernel streaming for the first time. 24/192 files sound wonderful. Keep in mind I'm running Windows XP.

My problem may have been user error but after deleting all MicroMega files, I began from scratch. I kept the MyDac unplugged and unconnected until the software asked for it. When I plugged it in and connected it, Windows recognized it with a pleasing sound (new device detected) and the driver software installed. This allowed me to choose the kernel streaming option in JRiver 17. I should note that I also have a Dragonfly DAC attached that I use for my computer desktop speakers and I can now easily switch between the DACs (using a combination of the Control Panel and JRiver 17) without trouble. The MyDac goes to a Linn Kairn, then Linn Akurate 242s bi-amped with Klouts.

Success, satisfaction, and great value from this nifty French unit.
