Arcam rPAC and Windows 8?

[geoffreyc]

Looking to buy the rPAC to partner a new Windows 8 laptop and have heard their maybe problems with support for Windows 8, have emailed Arcam (No reply) and my dealer doesn't know.

Anybody here using one with Windows 8 and itunes?

Any help appreciated.

Hi geoffreyc. I've been informed that there was an issue with the Win 8 USB drivers and the rPAC, but that Arcam was working on a fix. I'm not sure if this has been done yet but I'll do some further digging and get back to you...

Had reply back from Arcam with the following:-

"At this time there is an issue with all USB audio DAC’s and Windows 8. We are currently looking to the issue and will hopefully get this corrected ASAP"

Software update released for the rPAC and D33.

"This update is to resolve a loss of audio with Windows 8 and some USB chipsets."
