RME Fireface UCX into Adam A5x.
Beside that I'm using an USB filter and linear DIY powersupply from
Thel Audioworld incl. netfilter and additional buffering (40000uF).
Hi and thanks a lot for the kind replyVery nice unit your RME.
But i do not see drivers for Ubuntu on the web page, only for :
- Windows 7 / Vista / XP SP2 (32 & 64 bit)
- Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Intel or up (Core Audio)
How did you manage ?Anyway i would be very interested in trying Ubuntu.
But drivers are really an issue for me.
No one of the dacs i have come with drivers for Ubuntu.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Hi.The UCX offers, beside its proprietary mode under Windows, a CC - Class Compliant - mode (on/off via front panel).
This way you can also use the interface under Linux and Android.
The CC mode won't allow for sophisticated settings though.
You won't have the RME mixer interface under Linux.
However. You can store your UCX advanced settings under Windows into a macro(s) on the UCX. That macro you can load under Linux while you're in in CC mode via the front panel.Volume control on a per channel basis you can also run from the front panel in CC mode.
CC mode is limited to 96kHz.
I've been using the UCX for an active speaker project (Arch Linux/squeezlite/ecasound on a Cubitruck). This worked extremely well.Cheers

Hi and thanks a lot. Very interesting indeed.
I have to study this Class Compliant - mode of which i hear for the 1st time
As i read greatly positive comments on slimmed OS i cannot think of a more slimmed OS of Android.
I also loaded the usb audio pro player app .... but it does not work with my dac.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
