I will be using it to output to an external DAC which is connected to my stereo. Is there a free version of the USB driver you recommend?

when I plugged mine in it just started working. It just used the Microsoft driver. I have Windows 7

It's a passive device. Not sure why you would need a driver. Before getting the Muse, I used a DAC made by Chord, no driver required. Don't recall just why I switched to the Muse, but it does the job and I'm still using it.. Output from the Muse goes to the digital coaxial input on my receiver. Plug and play, nothing else required.

I run Linux on my PC, so I can't address the Windows issue. And I don't think I even used the USB interface at all ... I just used the "line-level" output, and plugged that directly into my PC's sound card, and that worked perfectly.

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

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

I think the sound bar's USB input is only for thumb drives and external hard drives. You're going to want to use the RCA input for audio transmission.

It depends of the source. If you want to Digital to Analog from a USB or a toslink connection I would recommend Audioengine D1. I have several of their products and I really like the quality. I have an ARCAM rPac but the out put is RCA. If your headphones are Bluethoot the ARCAM rBlink seems to be a possible solution. All depends from your equipment (source and headphones).

Buy a Schiit Sys Preamp, it acts as a volume control and you can connect each speaker to it easily. Then you can connect the Sys to your DAC/amp

I'm pretty sure you will because the output for the receiver is to the aux port, and I don't believe it outputs on the USB end, but I haven't tried it either.

The Behringer UC202 is an excellent option for sound through USB, it also allows you to plug in external recording devices (cassettes, record players, etc) that have RCA cords and convert to digital audio files

I am not sure about this. I always assumed that it used the phono port for the line out and the usb was only for power. I bet that it is only for power, but maybe I might try the usb as the audio line out and update my answer. I doubt it will work though.

Not sure I understand the question. If you're asking if the USB interface is outboard the answer is no. The USB cable plugs directly into the back of the board so there are no "middleman" devices to convert digital to analog and vice versa (unlike Behringers Xenyx USB boards which have an external USB device). You will need to plug your speakers or headphones to the mixer in order to hear sound though. The output options are xlr, 1/4", and yes, RCA or "the red and white plugs".

Hello! It is USB and I don't think it connects directly into a normal amp. However it's output can be routed through one via your sound card.

Unfortunately, that won't work. There are no USB input or output. You connect traditional speakers Left and Right to this amplifier

Not sure about that particular adapter. There are adapters for PCMCIA to USB available, though. Your best bet is to get a Soundblaster card that connects directly to USB.

It does not come with USB DAC I have a small portable amplifier that I use for that. Now I don't know if it has Mic Monitoring.

Assuming you are recording from the adapter, it sounds like the input to the audio programs you are using is not set to the USB audio source.

My car stereo has a USB input on the front. I would like to use this to transmit audio from my phone to the car stereo via this USB dongle. Is this one what did? Did it work?
