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.
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.
