I doubt every/any digital stream running through the computer is supplied to any usb port all the time. Windows 10 and newer should automatically recognize a USB DAC as an available audio output. Once you have it selected as your output device, all sound will be played through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Just for an experiment, I got a basic USB cable (Norstone Arran, USB 2.0), OFC copper. Connection: USB A (to Win11 laptop) - USB B (to Musical Fidelity DAC). Sounds much cleaner than connection with 3,5mm to Cinch cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Wanted to follow up on this, but with a twist. I'm DJ'ing a dance tonight, small get together with about 75 friends. I connected my laptop's HDMI output to my Sony receiver that can play High-Res audio files. Through HDMI the laptop synced up to my receiver and is able to play 24 bit/192kHz High-Res audio. I downloaded all the music I'm going to play through Amazon Music in the highest quality format available. I did a test run last night and everything is working great and sounds awesome. BTW, I'll be using my best friend's KLF-30s for the dance. He bought them a little over 10 years ago for $500. They've seen a little wear on the cabinets but still sound awesome. I'm really looking forward to cranking up the volume at the dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
