Quadrate USB Input Identification
Analog DAC
While observing the jack panel of your Analog DAC, note the finish and style of the entire USB input face plate. If the USB has a small acrylic insert that is black and two black metal flanges protruding from the jack panel then you currently have a Quadrate USB installed. If the face plate is made entirely of smooth acrylic or has a gold colored insert, DO NOT install the Quadrate firmware.
DAC IV, IV+, and V
While observing the jack panel of your DAC, take note of the shape of the inner most part of the USB connector. The inner most part of the USB Type B connector forms a small “D” shape. If this small “D” shape faces down, then your DAC is equipped with a Quadrate USB Input. If the small “D” shape is facing up then DO NOT install the Quadrate firmware.
The USB Type B connector can be found in “AUX 1” or “AUX 2” of your DACs jack panel.
Discrete, Premier, Reference, and Select DACs
While Observing the jack panel on your DAC, take note of the colored insert that surrounds the USB Type B connector. If the color of the insert is Black then you currently have a Quadrate USB Input installed. If it is gold then DO NOT install the Quadrate firmware.
