How do I connect the DO300EX to my computer?
Use the included USB cable to connect the DAC to your computer. For Windows, you may need to install the driver from the SMSL website. macOS and Linux typically work plug-and-play.
What sample rates does the DO300EX support?

Can I use the DO300EX with a gaming console?
Yes, via the optical or coaxial input. Most consoles output optical audio. Use a compatible cable and select the correct input on the DAC.
Why is there no sound coming from my speakers?
Check that the DAC is powered on, the correct input is selected, and the volume is not at minimum. Also verify cables and that the source device is sending audio.
Do I need to break in the DO300EX?
