All USB UAC-II devices - are AUDIO devices
Sure, but there is the showstopper - there is no native windows UAC-II driver...
What ????????
That would be fantastic news!
Sure - for windows 10...

So, Micro$oft with Win10 will make Thesycon and others bankrupt?
Really fantastic news!
If its true....

I don't quite see why that should be a showstopper, as long as a stable driver is available.

UAC driver is now available on Windows Update if the system is enabled to look for drivers online.<snip>no ASIO was available (if that matters).

Other searches I made on the net points in the same direction - but I can not confirm yet. Trying to download win10 now to test as I have a few UAC-2 capable devices...
If it is an hoax I just delete it
and continue with win7.Regards

ASIO itself is not well-supported by many Windows applications, they work best with MME and Direct Sound drivers anyway. RMAA uses ASIO if you ask it to, but the interface is clunky and a lot of functionality depends on how the driver is written. For example the e-Mu cards I use expose only certain pins to the software application, and RMAA needs a different format of pins to connect to. DS is just easier, and AFAIK some measurement apps don't even use ASIO drivers.
However Thesycon drivers (for example) allow you to tweak the interface for best performance and latency tradeoff, allow some routing options etc. The Windows driver is a blank box with no functionality at all and limited support for sample rates. The Benchmark DAC2 I use has a well-written driver, but I'm not sure it will recognise the input section (even though it carries the default Thesycon logo). So no real danger of them going bankrupt.
Keen to see this project in action and how it interfaces with RMAA and ARTA.

You wrote the above statement - as you wrote UAC - did you mean UAC-2 or UAC-1?
My posts have been grounded on that you ment UAC-2 as it would have been quite unnecessary to mention UAC-1.

Yes, USB Audio Class 2.
1 is supported by default in Windows for some time now without an update/driver needed.
I may also be mistaken about ASIO, this is the Foobar Control Panel that still has the selection for the driver.
This means the driver probably also supports ASIO, but it would need someone to try it out for themselves as I no longer have the device with me.

You said this about USB UAC2 driver in Win10?
What is it's maximum sample rate support? 384/32 works?
Is it available to download?
P.S. I did not find any messages about UAC2 built-in in Win10, but a lot of claims that there will be no UAC2 support!
No, you can't; ASIO is a higher level driver it still needs a device driver. MiniDSP has paid for and provides the Thesycon USB Audio device driver for you which is why it works.
There is no UAC 2.0 driver for Windows so without the Thesycon driver for XMOS chips you can't exceed 2ch 24-bit 96 kHz. Windows only has a UAC 1.0 driver.
To answer others: I do not believe Windows 10 has UAC 2.0 support still.
Currently there is NO UAC 2.0 support within Windows 10!
Read on "Windows support for USB Audio 2.0?" link below:

Other discussion on that mater:
http://amplioaudio.blogspot.de/2014/02/usb-audio-class-20-windows-and-computer.html
Available UAC 2.0 class driver but NOT FREE
USB Audio 2.0 Class Driver for Windows
From the discussions on the MSDN forums: They are aware of this issue and there is currently no comment given when this will be supported or not.
In the other hand MS will not provide any ASIO driver
BTW: The USBStreamer & given driver (outdated version 1.65 without driver signing) works on XP..Win10 using ASIO & WASAPI & WASAPI Exclusive modes.

I have made a measurement of the 1 and 10 kHz distortion in loop-back.
The generator level is -10dBFS for all measurements. I have attenuated the input by 10dB. Otherwise the distortion from the ADC would dominate the picture.
There is only a small variation in the distortion when using different sample rates.
But to my surprise the distortion at 10kHz is lower than the distortion at 1 kHz
At 48kHz sampling there is of course only one harmonic distortion component, but that is not the whole explanation.
Hi JensH,
The AK4490 can provide around -116dB THD @ 0dBFS, this is the best performance I can get in my design.

Hi RNMarsh,
No / Not yet.
The data I shown were get from a experimental bench based on AKM DEMO and external analog circuits one year before, then this project stoped. I was too busy then.
If you're interest in that project, maybe I can pick it up.
