Hi there,
I'm looking for a cost efficient way to add high samplerate support (e.g. 192khz) to my laptop on Linux mostly for testing purposes ; I do own a MAudio Fast Track Pro but it's limited to 48khz (because of USB 1.0 limitations). I need it to be plug and play on Linux as well as offer OS-level volume control.
I considered Topping D10S (110€) or DX1 (100€) but they are a bit too costly for my goal (and I don't need the digital outs), and I am contemplating the use of a Fiio ka1 USB-C 3.5mm DAC-headphone amp dongle (50€).
Are there downsides/risks of using such a device directly into an unbalanced amp (like an Aiyima A07) ?
thanks
