Isabella DAC and USB
« on: 11 Mar 2008, 04:25 pm »
I have a few questions about the Isabella DAC. My speculations are about how the USB connection interacts with a computer.

1) Will the computer recognize the DAC as a sound-card?
2) What drivers will the DAC use ...?
3) ... and close to that subject will the DAC support Linux?

I have noticed that MacBook computers are mentioned as a source. Linux computers would be an interesting alternative as a music source too. Perhaps built for this purpose only.

What do we know about Isabella DAC by now?
How much experience is out there about building music servers?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for all your patience,
