Asking because I use a Chromebox as my music 'server' and want to just use the USB output of the Chromebook into the DAC Module.   I can't find anything in the specs on the DAC that refers to supported Operating Systems.

Also did a forum search before posting this.

I remember this coming up on another board a couple years ago.  I think it was Computer Audiophile and the USB out wouldn't work with the DAC at that time.  Things might have changed   I would look over there on Comp Audio. 

What does the maker of you Chrome box have to say?

Hi artcook,

Welcome to the VR forum!

I am not sure about this - let me look into it for you...

Vinnie,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The code writers at Google (chromium@googlecode.com) are working with manufacturers to get the Chrome OS to communicate with their DACs.  Because of the nature of the OS, I don't think the manufacturer and/or model of the Chrome computer makes any difference.  I do think that communication should be important to you because there are about a zillion Chrome OS computers out there already, and their popularity is growing.

Just do a Google search for 'Issue 376011.'

Hope that helps.

p.s.  I plan on bringing my Chromebook to RMAF in a couple weeks.  Just to see what happens.....

Hi Art,

Thanks for letting me know.

Sure - bring your Chromebook over and we'll test it on LIO's dac.
