I have experienced white noise with a set up. I have a NorthStar Essensio dac which works faultlessly with Optical or Co-ax inputs. The Linux usb driver is completely pants. I have tried it with raspberry pi, and Raspbian Desktop on a PC. The Windows and Mac OS drivers are hardly any better

@diego Some ideas: What you could try, is a different OS in the pi, either MoOde Audio or Volumio. Or install Raspbian Lite with Squeezelite (and LMS, if needed). Is the dac a pre-built model or did you put it together yourself? ronnie Nice system by the way (it's a bit old skool, in a

Sorry, it's only for the Allo Sparky Board. In order to get Allo Sparky and Usbridge running, similar steps as with the Rpi are necessary. Download Dietpi as operating system, install it on SD card and make some settings as described in the link. https://dietpi.com/#noAction

I don't know why you get the noise. I have connected the rpi usb to several different dac without any noise. I never hot plug the usb connection, always connect without any power, then power the dac first, then the pi. What is your set-up can you try another dac?

Hi, thanks for your suggestions! Well, my question was not really whether there is a juste some USB transport, but which one is good or better than a SBT with EDO. In "audiophile" terms - that's why I put it into the Audiophiles-Forum. Anyway, I got myself a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ - Kit and
