Product & Features
The Aura DAC is a Mobile USB DAC + Headphone Amp capable
of decoding DSD and PCM audio les up to 11.6MHz/1bit and
192KHz/24bit (respectively). The Aura features a Micro USB plug + USB
Type-A converter so it is versatile enough to work with all your favorite
devices.
This short manual will take you through the simple steps required to set
up your computer/mobile OS so that sound from music, movies, web
videos, etc., will play through Aura with the best possible sound quality.
However, rst we must discuss how to adjust volume, because this part
of the guide is not OS specic.
When using Aura with headphones,
powered speakers, or a power amplier,
it’s best to start at a low volume until
the desired volume level is achieved.
When using Aura we recommend the
following procedures:
• Music player application volume
control should be set to maximum.
• Computer’s main OS volume control
should be set to 25% of maximum.
• Adjust to desired volume using the
computer’s main volume control.

You will need the correct CCK2depending on which device you’re
connecting to.
- iPhone 5 & iPad 5 and newer need the Lightning CCK.
- iPhone 4S & iPad 3 and older will need the 30Pin CCK.
To get the most out of the Aura, we recommend using the free VOX3
Player App for iOS made by our friends over at Coppertino.
The VOX Player App will let you listen to FLAC, ALAC, APE, WMA & CUE
les.
You can nd the VOX Player available on the Apple iOS App Store4
using the following url: http://apple.co/1fmaN33
1. Please note that only the ocial Apple CCK will transmit audio over USB, generic variants will not recognize the
device. 2. The Apple CCK is not included with the Cyberdrive Aura DAC, nor is it covered by the Aura DAC warranty.

While you can plug the Aura directly into most Android Phones/tablets,
your device has to be OS 4.2.21 (or higher) in order to work with the
Aura DAC.
Many phones require you to change the USB settings to ‘OTG Host
Mode’ in order to work correctly. Procedures vary from phone to phone.
To get the most out of your Aura DAC, download Zeus App from the
Google Play Store2 and seamlessly play Hi-Res DSD & PCM les.
