The P5 supports both USB Audio Class 1.0 and USB Audio Class 2.0 modes.
Windows computers do not require installation of a driver for USB Audio Class
1.0 and support playback of audio up to 96k Hz sampling rates. The Factory
Default setting is USB Audio Class 1.0.
To take advantage of USB Audio Class 2.0 audio playback supporting up to

to ensure both units are properly configured.
Many audio playback applications do not support 384k Hz sampling rate.
Please confirm your audio player supports 384k Hz audio and you have 384k
Hz audio files to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may need to
configure the audio driver in your PC to output 384k Hz or your computer may
“down sample” to a lower audio sample rate. For more information please refer
to your audio player or operating system information.
NOTE: USB Audio Class 2.0 requires installation of the Windows PC driver
on the USB Flash Drive included with the P5.
NOTE: MAC computers do not require a driver to support PC-USB 1.0
or 2.0 audio.
NOTE: Upon successful installation of the driver, you may need to select
the Michi audio driver from the audio/speaker setup of your computer.

2X formats. Consult your audio player to confirm proper operation for
playback of these audio formats.
