Hi,

could you post please well working nvidia shield usb dac combinations? I would like to buy a dac + xlr output + remote combo (eg m500, d5, adi2, su8, etc).

i use actually the shield 2019 + musical fidelity v90. basically works well, but after a couple of days the youtube app stops within seconds. just the restart helps, and ive never had this issue with the hdmi output.

another issue, if i restart the shield, the hdmi is the default output, i have to replug the usb cable to activate the usb dac again.

which shield version, dac, music player sw do you use?

Works perfectly with the RME ADI-2 DAC.

I say "perfectly". Caveat is that all output is resampled to 192 kHz but the Shield does that with all external DACs. And I doubt it makes any audible difference whatsoever. Functionally it works just fine.

FYI 192 kHz content plays "bit perfect".
