I plug the dac into the front usb port, then dac output into the amp. To 
play cds or music files, I usually use Audacious. Connect the dac first, 
then start Audacious. Then, set Audacious pcm device setting for the 
dac, use the default mixer device.

For system audio, like Firefox, youtube etc, there is the 
/etc/asound.conf file. In it there are two lines that identify the 
default audio card to use. Normal system default is 0, my dac is 3:

defaults.ctl.card 3
defaults.pcm.card 3

As I plug and unplug the dac it will change from 0 to 3 and back and the 
system audio will change from the computer speakers to the the dac.
