RE: DAC USB Audio 2.0 compatability

Hi Abe,

You are correct re the equipment I currently using, and yes, an Aurender was the first server I used.

I have also tried a W4S DAC2 with the Bryston and Aurender - no issues at all; I will try it with the Antipodes later today. OTOH, the AMR has worked fine Mac and Windows... just not Linux. Thanks for the advice.

My questions were general than that though: DAC manufacturers place demands on server manufacturers re compatibility with USB Audio 2.0; however, how do we know that the DAC manufacturers are compliant?

Edit: I have also used a few different USB cables - the Curious Cables, a Kimber, and a couple of generics; no difference.

Update: Just tried it with the W4S DAC2 - not even a hint of an issue. Rock solid, and sounds nice too.

Cheers,
91.
