Lets say you buy a USB DAC that does not have any drivers online. There is no manufacturer website and no other info are given.
Is there a way to find the driver manually through the following procedure:
- Connect the USB device.
- Go to device manager under windows.
- Go to Sound, video and game controllers.
- Right click on your device and choose properties.
- Go to the Details tab.
- Check Hardware Ids.
then search online and figure out which USB chip your USB DAC is using and then go to the chip manufacturer's website and download the appropriate driver ? is this possible ? is this possible with every DAC ?
Another question, My Atom DAC+ uses an Xmos USB chip and its firmware can be upgraded....Can the firmware on ALL USB DACs be upgraded ? or is it just for Xmos USB chips ?
