"If they are on the same USB Host Controller then there may be interference due to resource contention. If they are separate controllers then there won't be a problem. The Windows device manager (View Devices by Connection) provides the necessary information to ensure that file I/O is kept separate from audio output to the DAC."
There type of systems only have one controller.

If that's the case here, then the system is probably not suitable for audio, unless it has enough RAM to buffer entire playlists (unlikely). This is the situation with my Raspberry Pi.

Probably better than the PI. You can stream files from a NAS. With minimal OS and player I think it can be pretty decent, going with the though process, low power/low noise, etc.
I agree that the Pipo X7 is better than the Pi for music server duty but there are even better solutions like the NUC or Zotac Zbox nano series. Of course these cost more but since when have audiophiles been overly concerned with cost? These are all cheap relative to many source components or transports that audiophiles pony up for. ;-)
