Hi Abe - that might have been me.
The DX Gen-2 is a really nice device and works fine with my W42 DAC2 and is guaranteed UAC2 compliant. AMR has not said what they have done with their USB received firmware, but they have advised they don't support Linux.
My guess is they develop the firmware beyond UAC2 and can make this work with Windows and Mac, but are less willing to commit to making it work with Linux due to the different Linux distros.
The AMR designer refered me to a blog that provides troubleshooting general DAC-Linux issues, but I'd already made the changes with the help of the Antipodes guys - they were great BTW.
Thankfully the current DX Gen 2 comes with SPDIF out, so all is fine... but not ideal.
Cheers,
