Hello,
I read the article in the October issue with great interest.
What I'd like to know is what do you need on the PC to make it work through the USB port. Does the PC's OS recognize the DAC for what it is, or do you load a driver onto the PC that can stream the sound of whatever you're playing to the DAC? Do you need special software on the PC beyond a driver? WIll the PC's other sounds (like "you have mail" also be sent to the V-DAC?
Then, I presume if you play a CD a 44.1kHz 16bit signal will be sent to the V-DAC. And I assume if you have some higher resolution files, up to 192kHz 24bit, the V-DAC will know what it's getting and adjust accordingly.
What happens when you play mp3's? Does your PC "unpack" it to 44.1 / 16bit and then stream it to the V-DAC?
Regards
Leon
