Did you note any synchronisation problems? Feeding one external DAC per USB and an internal one I would expect that both DACs use their own clock, and if the speed of both clocks is not perfectly equal sooner or later they must get out of sync.
I don't know. It might be a problem, but it might not be too. Here's a few of my thoughts on it;
1) Regardless of sync issues, there could be different delays between the devices due to drivers, hardware, buffers, etc. And it's possible these delays are not consistent.
2) How much drift is really possible per hour, considering both devices are trying to play as accurately as possible? If a DAC drifted terribly, wouldn't watching a long video make it out of sync by the end? I've not experienced that on any device connected to my PC, so I presume the timing tolerance is very small.
3) Subwoofers already have delay, and in ported subwoofers the delay increases near the porting frequency. Is any DAC drift worse than this delay?
4) Following from 3, apparently our hearing is quite forgiving to timing delays in the bass and sub bass region. So even if the sync does drift, does it matter?
5) I asked myself the same question about sync issues when I first tried this setup, and a google search revealed that (apparently) if you stop and start the audio playback on occasion, that is enough to "reset" the sync.
So yer, maybe not a big issue. And if the choice is no subwoofer or a subwoofer who's sync may drift slightly, I'm choosing to have the subwoofer.
