Audioengine D1 Driver

Audioengine D1 Premium 24-bit DAC (digital to analogue converter) allows you to bypass your computer’s soundcard or headphone output and send audio through USB or optical. D1 will process digital audio at any bit depth up to 24 bits and any sample rate to 192kHz. Audioengine A2's would have a good clean treble as it's more of a tweeter size. You're going to miss lots of bass with them, so just like cel4145 said, it would be beneficial to incorporate a subwoofer to the set-up. D1 is pretty decent, however you could of gotten something better for that price. For sub $250, i could have gotten a used A2.

If you are using a Windows computer, uninstall the USB driver from your computer. Then disconnect the USB cable to remove the A2+ from your computer and plug it back in to allow the USB driver to re-install automatically. Hi all, Long time follower, first time posting. I purchased an FiiO E10 Olympus last week, and this week there's a really great sale on for the Audioengine D1. I plan a DAC/Amps only with headphones, and I'm wondering if there'd be a noticeable difference between the two with the sets I. DAC audioengine d1 (24 bit) won't work since i bought my HP laptop (preowned=HP probook 6565b). Worked just find with my last laptop. The sound from my HP was so low in itself that a SRS audio was installed by my computer seller. Since then, the audio D1 doesn't work. It was connect with USB. Like all Audioengine products, the D1 comes in a fairly plain box, practically designed to protect its contents. The microfiber bag is a standard at Audioengine, and one that we like. A 2’ USB cable and comprehensive setup guide are included in the box.

Executive Overview

I didn't realize how crappy the preamp was that I was using to feed my AudioEngine 5+ speakers. Now we reviewed those speakers earlier this year and for our listening tests I used various source components, including an iPhone, a Blu-ray player and the stereo outputs of an A/V receiver. But after the review we hooked the speakers back up to my laptop using an external hybrid microphone DAC. That was a mistake. I wondered why the clarity and top end of the A5+'s seemed a bit lacking all of a sudden, when I had previously found them to be pretty darn good.

Then I connected this thing - the D1. This is Audioengine's 24-bit Digital Audio Converter - or DAC. It connects to your Mac or PC via USB (cable included) and acts as an external sound card. And it does it without any special drivers or software installation - which we really loved. It converts your digital music and audio to the analogue signals required by your speakers or amplifier. In our case, we were using the amplified A5+ speakers. Using a device like this is great for a number of reasons. For one, it gives you much better quality than the onboard sound device which is just there to get the job done as inexpensively as possible. Secondly, it gives you more options. Let's go over the physical features and you'll see what I mean.

The front is fairly plain, with a single volume knob and a headphone jack for plugging in your phones - which incidentally mutes the rear outputs. This is good, and the way you want a system like this to work. A white LED lets you know the DAC is receiving power from the USB interface. There are no batteries or external power supplies needed.

On the back of the D1 you have a pair of high quality gold-plated RCA outputs as well as a digital optical TOSlink input. That's perfect for getting digital audio from a television or Blu-ray player into your system. Next to the optical input is the USB connection. Now, the thing to note here is that since there is no battery or dedicated AC adapter, if you use the D1 for converting digital audio to your speakers you need to connect the USB port to either a computer or a USB power supply.

Now, once all the connections were out of the way, what was left was using the D1 and listening to it. Using it was pretty simple. The volume knob is smooth and has a nice heft to it, and the front-located headphone jack was perfect for allowing me to switch from casual listening to podcasting mode. We loved the auto-mute function where the headphones broke the feed going to the speakers without us having to do anything. The improvement in audio quality was also very noticeable. I mean compared to the sound coming straight off the Mac, both headphones and our desktop speakers sounded clearer and less compressed. The bottom end even tightened up a bit and we heard a more natural decay on things like reverb and cymbal crashes. Overall we'd have to say that if you're going to spend good money on speakers for your home or office and you're driving your system with a PC or Mac, you really don't want to drop the ball and use the internal sound card - at least not for long. Save up the $169 and consider grabbing the AudioEngine D1. This is one upgrade you're going to be able to immediately hear and appreciate.

Yeah but you won't be able to ding everyone who posts a question about dacs, . This just moved the whole discussion from why would anyone need to spend more than $50 to why would anyone need to spend more than $200!
Btw, I haven't listened to the audioengine dac/headphone amp but one downside to any usb powered headphone amp is that it may have difficulties in driving certain headphones.

ps: D1 is not exactly usb powered -as in it's not drawing any power from pc's USB port. I used external ac->dc usb adapter and D1 is rated to power headphones upto 300 Ohm
From D1 Faq:
Will the D1 work with my low-impedance HiFiMAN HE-500 headphones?The D1 includes a headphone amp based around the TI NE5532 low noise opamp. This headphone amp is able to provide low-impedance, high-fidelity audio to a wide range of headphones and supports headphones with impedances from 20 to 300ohms.

long story short, after long consideration I decided to wet my feet in the world of DAC and get myself a D1 dac - yes - you read this right… And the only reason is not attempt to improve SQ, but to get rid of annoying RF interference which become really annoying after I recently replaced my video card
I haven't tested my main setup just yet (just got it today) , but for now tested with my Fostex T20RP headphones (Impedance - 50 ohms, Sensitivity 96dB SPL/mW) - not exactly easy load for typical headphone amp… Behringer uc202 struggled and failed and eventually I had to supplement it with Fiio E5 which was highly reviewed by NwGuy - It made a big difference
D1 took this difference and took it a bit further with a bit more push in the low end and better overall clarity in low and mids - it's not brighter, just a bit more clear - drums sound a bit more punchier and precise .
That said - I wish D1 had more juice as running with classical tracks (01. London Symphony Orchestra & Bernard Haitink - Beethoven Symphony No.5 - I. Allegro con brio.flac) - running Max volume - I wish I could add a bit more volume, but this is minor as I rarely do critical listening at work anyhow.
Overall for now I'm happy with the purchase and the big test will running D1 on main rig at home. To be continued….

too bad Outlaw only accept usb as only digital input and not spdif
p.s: HK 990 does look rather interesting, but since it has bass management and autosetup - it's really more of modern avr (minus video switching and tuner) than integrated amp

Actually the usb input on the Outlaw is mediocre; otherwise it is a great receiver.
