Nice DAC.Amp but finicky USB interface.
Although this is a great sounding DAC/Amp I found that swapping the USB cables was nearly impossible. The cable included with the DAC works fine on any computer I tried it with; however, I wanted to use a bit higher quality cable but none of the higher grade cables i tried worked. The computer failed to recognize the device with any other cables other than another really cheap cable provided with another DAC. It makes no sense. I got little help from the Manufacturer and I've been unable find any firmware updates that might help. Other than that issue I like it a lot.

CyberthingyI didn't even use their cable, as the run to my PC is longer. I bought a 3M USB 2.0 cable with gold tips from Ugreen and it works fine: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32416310263.html

adi518Yeah, I don't understand why I've had trouble with other cables. I tried an Audioquest, a Schiit, a Chroma Cables, a Pangea etc. and none would work. It has to be a defect in the unit but I've had it long enough that a don't think SMSL would do anything for me. I just decided to live with the stock cable as long as it works.

CyberthingyHigh end cables often does not follow USB specifications, that's probably why.
