How does this hold up for audio going from a computer to a Dac?

It's a digital cable. Either it works or not. However, having owned dozens of cheap usb cables, I do feel like this one is of very good quality. So as long as you are looking for a standard usb cable, this one is awesome.

i am using for computer to printer only; but these are very well made cords with lighted ends, I have had no issues with any of the amazon basics products, cases, cords, batteries are all very good

Dac? This is a USB 2.0 Cable connects A-male to B-Male where usually used to connect PC to Printers.

I haven't used it as a connection to a Dac. Sorry. But my guess it will hold up.

It's actually a pretty clean unit. Don't expect thunderous lows and transparent highs, but for the price they're great,I used one for two years on the road as an in-ear monitor and ran my vocals through it too! The three different connections (XLRF, XLRM, 1/4") are immensely helpful.I also use a few of them as point level mixers for clients in the recording studio. Haven't had a complaint! If they go bad, they are easily replaced, but I haven't had to replace even one in 5 years of heavy use. Go for it!

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

Yes, you really don't need an external dac with this unit...in fact I think that is it's main appeal. A good external amp would be a better compliment. It works pretty well as a complete unit(player, dac, amp) but getting a separate amp would allow you to custom taylor your sound to your given cans.

I don't know about the voltage output on a dac, but my Cambridge Audio DacMagic works fine with my ESP-950.

Well to be clear, it is a very strong USB DAC, with 1000mW (4.3vrms) and 2 outputs 0.47Ohms / 47Ohms sounds amazing on this headphones!

Just RCA outputs. Would need a seperate HF amp that accepts RCA inputs. Topping DAC sounds sweet.

I use this set up on a daily basis with a "Zalman" mic. The set-up works great, my only gripe would be both cables are verrryy long so it can be an annoyance. I currently do not use a amp or dac but I heard from a close friend using this with a Astro Mix-amp works very well. If I had to do it again, I would go with a MOD MIC 4.0 instead of the Zalman for the fact that you can clip it on the ear cup and flip it up when your done. Hope this helps.

No, it is not a DAC. It is a preamplifier so the USB is output only to your computer with software such as Audacity (free to download).

It definitely goes one way. So fiber in and stereo out rca and headphone out. I got it for a ps3 so I could have headphones. Works great for that. This is a DAC. You need ADC.

I've been using one for several months and really like it. I'm using Windows 7 x 64. My onboard audiocard seems a little weak on volume. This seems to improve it quite a bit.

I think the DAC is rather good - have taken it to a friend who was using a very expensive outboard DAC and he reckons it sounds rather good too.

I stream music from my computer to our stereo via an Apple Airport Express. I use a TOSlink to mini digital audio cable to connect the Airport to the DAC (which is then connected to my amp via RCA monster cables). Hope this helps.

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

Hello,it is difficult to understand what is phase issues. External dac should improve everything in sound. However I found some issues (warn) when connecting to PC via USB. Drivers are not singed one and finally I was not able to install them on 8.1 in half hour time. It is not clear how it would be even if succeeded if you would like to keep PC at high protection level with signed drivers feature on. In general I am quite happy with this DAC but not using with PC - CD and TV SPDIF connected.

I am using the Emotiva DC-1 DAC with XLR outs and USB in along with an Emotiva Control Freak volume control. Love the combination and my computer audio files (flac and mp3) have never sounded better. I am also using the Presonus Tremblor T10 subwoofer. Love it's on/off foot peddle.
