If and when there is another drop for this, be WARNED: The Zorloo Windows driver is a complete and total POS. I can't speak for Mac users but if you have a Windows computer STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEVICE.
I have tried two installations in case there was some unusual glitch the first time. The second instance was identical to the first.
To use the DAC, you have to go into Control Panel/Sound and manually switch the default playback device to the Zorloo. You can't just use it for the one time--you have to make it the default.
Once you have done that you CANNOT RETURN TO USING YOUR COMPUTER SPEAKERS OR HEADPHONE JACK.
If you do go back to Control Panel/Sound and switch the default device back to your computer's speakers/soundcard, ALL of your music playback software will simply hang or CRASH. My guess is that the Zorloo driver overwrites some files and leaves them incompatible.
I have had to do a FULL SYSTEM RESTORE, to before the Zorloo driver went in, in order to be able to play music from the computer again. The only good thing about the Zorloo driver is that it calls for a restore point.
DON'T GET THIS FOR WINDOWS. Get a DAC that is plug and play with your computer or you'll be at the mercy of a botched driver.
And of course Massdrop provides zero assistance or support.
