When used as a USB DAC, can it play 24-bit 96K files?

No, the USB chip in this limits it to 24 bit 48k files. The DAC itself is the Wolfson 8740, which is capable of 192k 24 bit. The cheapest USB dac that can play 96khz 24 bit files is the fiio e10. It does not have a battery, so it can't be used with phones.

What types of files can be played from that flash drive if connected to USB port in the front? 320 kbps MP3? FLAC?

Thanks for your question. Yes, this amazing sounding DAC will do up to 24/192 over USB. It's an amazing unit.

got ASIO 4 ALL working. Had to disable the motherboard audio to get the usb DAC to be active in A4A and had to set sample rate to 48K. Buffers work at default (in 32, out 32, asio 512)

The RCA inputs are only analog, not digital (e.g. S/PDIF) so the DAC only runs via USB.

It'll take any analog audio signal in XLR form and convert it to digital (that's why it's bulky around the USB connector part). Beware, though, this product adds a bit of noticeable hiss and noise to your signal, so you might not want to use it for a final mix if you're outputting from a mixer.

I think it has more to do with the digital frame than the drive. I would be shocked that the frame has a USB 3 port. If by some fluke it does, then this would work better, but I can't believe that it would make any difference. I copied a few video clips and songs and just tried playing them via a USB 2 port, and they played just fine without any staggering, or distortions. Again, I have to believe it's the frame, not the drive. Hope this helps. ---Kelvington

I disagree. I have purchased 24bit music from HDTracks and found that the sound quality was inferior to the same track ripped to FLAC from a CD. I bought Rush "Spirit of Radio" from HDTracks and wound up going back to the FLAC versions I ripped from my 1987 release of Moving Pictures. To assume that just because some music is superior because it was remastered to 24bit will leave you with less money - believe me, I'm a victim. If you have some CD's from the mid-80's to around 1992 you're better off (IMO) ripping them with foobar2000 or EAC to FLAC, WAV, or ALAC. Before buying a 24bit HD version do comparisons of the dynamic range of the original cd against the remaster/rerelease on dr(dot)loudness-war(dot)info. I've actually started trolling yard sales for early CD releases for this very reason, I think you'll be happy you did - I know your wallet will be.

Works fine for audio, but I guess there's a limit to the account of tracks that you can play simultaneously.

The answer depends on your cd player and current dac that you are using. This unit provides a very high level of processing of lower resolution files and really does a good job in squeezing a bit extra out of them. If this is an upgrade for you depends on your existing equipment.

Yes you can. I would rate my dp-004 rather highly except for the flaw that i have never been able to upload my music to my PC computer via the usb cable. Perhaps if someone could explain it to me in very simple terms i might step by step do it. But the instructions from tascam are either ambiguous or confusing or simply wrong, because i have never ben ablr to save my recordings to PC.

yes.works fine for me.there is a limit to the bit rate,not sure what that is limit is.But it's high.mine are 160

Google is your friend:"Supporting stereo 24-bit resolution and up to 96 kHz sample rate, the USB Audio dongle features 2 stereo DACs which can achieve high performance 95 db Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and 2 stereo ADCs which can achieve high performance 90 db SNR Mac OS X does NOT have 7.1 driver and S/PDIF software."Found at manufacturer's website:http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1191

I do. I have 260GB of music stored in FLAC format. I backup my music server to this box. USB 3.0 makes it much faster.

I am currently using a 8gb. Sandisc chip. And thats just music. And that has been working fine.

Depends on chosen audio quality, music or talk, number of tracks. However, one user statement claims: Sep 6, 2010 - 9 posts - &#8206;6 authors "Hey guys, Just wondering how long would i be able to record with a 16Gb ... A: 5 megs per minute per channel at 44.1/16. it's just about the same at 48 and 1/2 again more for 24 bit. At 48/24 stereo I get just under an hour a gig." www.dvxuser .com

In one time, I have two USB sound cards, one integrated sound card on mother board, and a DAC. So yes, you just have to choose you playback device.
