This is a USB problem

As you have no doubt seen in post after post in almost every forum USB poses a constant problem to digital audio. It is unreliable and often needs poorly written and supported drivers [software] and extra peripheral devices [hardware] to make it work. The best thing to do is to avoid USB entirely, this will not only save you headaches but money and time spent trying to make it work.

You may notice that the audio industry as a whole does not support USB to stream audio to Dacs. This can be seen in the obvious omission of USB out in nearly all music streamers/network player devices. No doubt that as time goes on these players will improve in sound quality, ergonomics, features and be offered at a reduced cost. This will leave USB [only] Dacs as relics of the past forever tied to personal computers.
