I assume they are labeled or advertised as much? If you don’t use it for DAC out, can it be used for normal USB purposes? Speaking of which, does it matter what USB port version is used for a output to a DAC, as in 2.0, 3.0 etc? I guess that depends on what the DAC USB input is spec’d to? Permalink Parent 1

A DAC out USB port is made especially for that purpose? Interesting. I’ll look into that. Does the output option affect CPU usage? I assume it’s minimal if any. Permalink Parent 2

But you’re definitely correct. It maybe difficult to find ones with anything other than USB. But assuming you had all the options, what do you recommend? Permalink Parent 1
