This IS a Windows device. It will work with MacOS (I am using it with my mac at the moment), but you won't get the benefits and software features. With MacOS you definitely can use the input and output just fine (meaning the DAC is doing its job) and the volume knob works nicely. However, all the EPOS DSP functions (which is a software download) is exclusive to Windows (because they don't make a mac version of the software). The button for activating the DSP therefore is functionless on Mac (although I suppose you could program it with some meta-tools, but nevertheless, you won't get any of the EPOS specific DSP functions, which is kind of half of the purpose for the device). In summary: Mac and Windows, both work perfectly fine as a USB dac for input and output; if you want the array of great EPOS DSP functions, then you would need to use Windows. (I only have this because someone threw it in with a used headphone purchase I made. I am not a gamer, so I don't really care, in fact I kind of like using the volume knob over keyboard buttons, but I would imagine most people would be buying this for the DSP gaming function as well). Perhaps EPOS will make a mac compatible app for it someday, but being it uses MINI-(not even micro-)USB I think that ship has sailed.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
