Driver Modes (OS X 10.9 and above)
Bit Accurate
The Bit Accurate Driver uses the XONE interface as the USB clock source, offering
lower jitter and latency, and a more stable USB streaming clock.
Core Audio
The CoreAudio Driver uses the computer’s internal USB Clock as the synchronisation
clock for the system. This allows the XONE device to be aggregated with the Mac
audio system or with different soundcards and use of CoreAudio functions such as
iTunes, QuickTime and Mac sounds output e.g. alerts, sound effects etc.
It is recommended to use the Bit Accurate driver where possible. Use CoreAudio mode
for Apple CoreAudio applications such as iTunes, QuickTime or playback via web
browsers & generic media players etc.
