- Support for the following sample frequencies: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384kHz

- Volume/mute controls for input/output (for both master and individual channels)

- Support for dynamically selectable output audio formats (e.g. resolution)

- Field firmware upgrade compliant to the USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) Class Specification

- S/PDIF output

- S/PDIF input

- ADAT output

- ADAT input

- Synchronisation to external digital streams i.e. S/PDIF or ADAT (when in asynchronous mode)

- I2S (slave/master modes with configurable word-length)

- TDM (slave/master modes with configurable word-length)

- MIDI input/output (Compliant to USB Class Specification for MIDI devices)

- DSD output ("native" and DoP mode) at DSD64 and DSD128 rates

- Mixer with flexible routing

- Simple playback controls via USB Human Interface Device (HID) Class

Note, not all features may be supported at all sample frequencies, simultaneously or on all devices.  
Some features may also require specific host driver support.

Host System Requirements
========================

USB Audio devices built using `lib_xua` have the following host system requirements.

- Mac OSX version 10.6 or later

- Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 with Thesycon Audio Class 2.0 driver for Windows (Tested against version 3.20). Please contact XMOS for details.
 
- Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 with built-in USB Audio Class 1.0 driver.

Older versions of Windows are not guaranteed to operate as expected. Devices are also expected to operate with various Linux distributions including mobile variants.
