For Macs, it works as a Core virtual audio device with no inputs and two outputs to accomplish the same goal. In Windows, it uses Direct Sound to implement the frequency response correction on all outputs. Third, a mode called Systemwide, which only works on audio outputs, but does so for all computer audio functions, not just the DAW.
