Many thanks for your answer. Just for clarification , should the sentence " Both will utilize the USB drivers." read " Both will utilize the same USB drivers."?

Hi PAR. Both will utilize the same low level USB drivers to hit the interface hardware ultimately.
Looking around, I think the issue is that the Windows' update may have messed with the "USB Audio" 1.0 driver such that "driverless" USB DACs like the Dragonfly that top out at 24/96 might have playback issues.
If this is the issue, then this subject should have been more specific rather than a general suggestion that there's something wrong with the USB drivers. Those of us using custom USB audio device drivers should not be affected.

There is no such thing as a Windows upgrade. You're just going from a pile of crap to an even bigger pile of crap.
Hi Bill:
Yeah, I should have said "update" rather than "upgrade". I agree, no guarantee that it makes it actually any better...
However, as a user who has gone through the evolution of various GUI-based OS'es from the old days of Commodore 64 GEOS, AmigaOS, Windows iterations, Sun Solaris, BeOS, the promise and stagnation of Linux on the desktop, and 5 years using Mac OS X for my work machine, I gotta say Windows 10 isn't bad at all.
Stability is decent. It's open (eg. how's FLAC support on the Mac?). And has all the mature software I need (unlike Linux).
