Is it possible to use DX90 as an USB DAC, like FiiO X5 does ("The X5 serves not only as a DAP, but also as a USB DAC when connected to a computer")?

If you're on Windows 8/8.1 good luck! They don't have signed drivers and their promise of releasing them months ago has gone no where. I returned this great unit in favor of the fiio x5. If on Windows 8, you can try the workaround by starting windows 'ignoring driver signatures', but it's flaky doesn't stick, may crash your PC...and if it 'does' work...you only get 16 bit / 44k sample rate (same as CD quality). Too bad for such a great device :(

My understanding no MACOS Support??? How about in Parallels running Windows on a MAC?

You can download the USB DAC Driver for DX90 from iBasso website. DX90 USB-DAC driver for 32bit WinXP and Win7, May 17th, 2014http://ibasso.com/en/download/index.asp

Unless you are getting noticeable electrical interference from a large graphics card I don't think the M50x will benefit from an amp/dac. I'd save your money for your next upgrade (because its an addiction).

Here's what the manual states: The XENYX mixer line has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical to the MAIN MIX. Audio being sent to the mixer from a computer can be routed to the main mix with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN button. Connect the USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from behringer.com. I don't know what OS you are using, but you might want to make sure that your computer is set up for stereo input/output via your preferences. You could also check to see if you have the correct drivers installed from Behringer, and lastly, make sure you have the 2TR/USB to MAIN properly depress and you can also route it to a set of headphones via the SOURCE 2TR/USB. Also not sure if this is what you are hearing through headphones or mains (?). Are your main channels routed independently? So when you say USB Out, is that from a stereo source or from the PA?

Connect the DacMagic via USB (load the associated driver. Doing so, will by pass the computer soundcard (ideal, what you want). That's it.

Thanks for your question. There are various ways to connect these and connection with your DAC. Please download the owners manual from the manufacturer's site and go over it carefully. THese are amazing sounding speakers.

You can get a great sounding optical DAC from Fiio for $25, and attach it to the back of this amp.FiiO D3 Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC

The DAC works with windows as a Generic USB Audio device and runs driver less using the built in drivers in Windows 7. It may not be plug and play but installing the generic driver should work in Linux.

You do not need an external DAC, the E09K plugs in via USB to your PC/Mac. You can however expand the SQ of the E09K by adding the E17 to it. When you connect the E17 to the dock connector on the E09K, it bypasses the internal DAC and uses the E17 (which is a much better DAC) for that purpose.

I don't really use the DAC part of mine. I use it to connect a better quality DAC that has no USB capability to a computer. It does this very well, and the $1000 plus DAC I'm using sounds light years better than the computer's internal DAC, of course. Given the low price, low weight, and small package of the Muse, I don't see how it could be a high quality DAC. It's the analog end of a DAC that determines its quality and sound, and analog quality is heavy, expensive, and bulky....power supplies, sizable capacitors, etc.

I asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

It takes RCA and 1/8" trs, so there's no way to go right in from USB. You'd need a separate DAC if USB is your only option.

I use mine strictly for my high resolution audio all onboard sound boards have to be disabled in order to get the full capability of a DAC when used with a 5.1 home theater it's nothing but a brick the HT head unit will mess with the bit stream and the DAC will do it's best but you're feeding it 50% of the data A DACs place in my setup goes like this Laptop usb out DAC high quality RCA plugs to AMP to speakers the fewer steps between the source audio and the DAC the better hope that helps

Any DAC will do fine. I have mine hooked up to my Fiio E07k. One could also plug it directly into the PC's headphone line out as well.

Nope. As dmdmba said: the DAC part of the amp plugs into your computer's or digital audio player's USB port to get its input, and puts out an analog signal.

I have two Asus Xonar sound cards that send digital signal from my computers to older MSB DACs. The sound is quite wonderful, very musical. I prefer to use the optical out if I can, but coax seems to work very well too. These are both in older computers that are dedicated to audio playback only.

I used an external DAC. You could also likely use an external sound card as well. It cost about $125 I think. I've been very pleased.

Yes, if you get a digital out signal before your speakers. If it is headphone out, then you will actually be using the DAC on your PC in most cases, so this won't perform the function you are looking for. In essence, you need an output on your pc that allows you to bypass its internal DAC so that the conversion will occur on the FiiO.
