Recently I went down the path of integrating my subwoofer with the stereo mains using 2 USB DACs. I did not realize beforehand that running 2 USB (async) DACs is not a good idea, and risk them getting a little out of sync with each other. I know the proper solution is to use a multi-channel DAC like the Topping DM7 where all the DACs are in sync.
Most of my materials are 16/44k1, and I typically detect/hear a the sync problem after about 25-30mins of play time. My current workaround is just to stop/start the playback, and everything gets back in sync.
Do you think if I upsample to 176k, it can help delay the "out of sync" issue even further?
My theory is that with higher data rate, the drift time should be much smaller. Not sure if this makes sense or not.
