Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings

2021-02-21 Thread LiFePO4


I have zero experience with pcp on the USB side.  I only use optical
solutions, so just making a suggestion.  I wasn't even aware there is a
Qutest USB setting.  I thought USB Audio is the only option on the
dropdown box for USB DACs, so total noob here.

My suggestion is try powering on the Qutest with your Macbook.  Turn on
your RPi.  Unplug USB A from Macbook and plug into RPi.

I believe Chord DACs need the 5V VBUS (Thin orange cable on your
Curious) to initiate a handshake to activate the Qutest.  Maybe after
activating, if it stays PWR ON, pcp will recognize?

Maybe some setting not initiating the handshake?  Just hope the Qutest
doesn't PWR OFF when you pull out the USB cable.

If it's recognized, you can troubleshoot the setting from there...

EDIT: USB Audio setting the same issue?

Good luck with the Return/Exchange.  I think Curious has a 30-day full
satisfaction period so should be straightforward to send back...

This is not the proper place to discuss, but since a window of
opportunity opened for a full refund...

If you are determined to utilise RPi/PcP, there are great optical HAT
solutions.  Are you open to using Glass Optical instead of pricey
Curious USB cables?

If you like pricey cables, there is also the Audioquest Diamond optilink
Glass Optical.

If your determined for RPi/PcP USB, there may also be another solution.

Just not sure of your preferences.  I just know optical is reference for
Chord DACs.

Just ignore if you already have a set preference.  Not sure how new you
are to the Qutest.
