Lampizator Big 7 USB Connection Question

I got my hands on a Lampizator Big 7 DAC and am enjoying it so far via SPDIF connection. I have a USB cable and have tried it but can't seem to get my PC to recognize the DAC. I've tried downloading the required driver, but this doesn't seem to do the trick.

My other DAC, a Burson 160, was recognized without any issue and I can select the USB option easily from the PC Control Panel. So far though I can't get the Big 7 to get recognized by my PC via USB.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm particularly keen to try the DSD DAC but I believe I need to do that via USB.

Did you flip the toggle switch over to the USB position?

Go to website and d/l drivers for PC. Might need an updated driver.

Yes, I flipped the toggle switch over to USB.

Yes, I downloaded the combo Amanero driver as specified in the Lampizator manual, but it doesn't identify the device.

Cerrot, I believe the USB input is the only one which connects to the DSD module in the Lampizator, allowing me to listen to DSD tracks, which is one of the biggest benefits/features of the Lampizator DAC. For PCM tracks, I'm happy to use SPDIF.
