Hi Triode, I finally had a little time today to try your work out. I'm using a HRT Music Streamer II as well. With Kernel #2 but no hub, I still get some clicks and pops. With the hub in place they are gone, I haven't heard one at all. I tried it at all sample rates (44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96) and get the same results, no clicks or pops, except for one track. One 88.2 tracks played with lots of clicks and pops, but it only did it once, playing it again works great. No idea what happened there.
For others that want to try the hub approach, install the software per the first post, unplug the power from the Touch, plug the DAC into the hub, plug the hub into the Touch, then plug the power back into the Touch. Use the USB audio setting to select the DAC, it will reboot and the DAC should work. Do NOT attempt any of this by "hot plugging", plugging in the DAC or hub with the Touch powered up. It won't physically hurt anything, but it won't work properly if hot plugged. I tried kernel #2 out with an old adaptive (2706 based) DAC and it did not work at all, the Touch just continually rebooted (whether plugged into the hub or direct). I haven't had time to do any debugging on this. I haven't had time to try this DAC out with kernel #1. I still have to try this with TT3.0, without the hub and the regular kernel TT3.0 makes a big difference in the sound of the Streamer II I wonder if with the hub in place it will make as much difference or not. I have to try this out with my udev system. As you have figured out plugging in a USB DAC changes the assignments which can mess things up badly. I have a udev setup which makes sure all the devices get assigned a constant card no matter whether a USB DAC is plugged in or not. (but it still doesn't work with hot plugging) Thanks so much Triode!!! This is great. Wonderful job of finding the issue and fixing it, and of coming up with a nice easy to use way of installing it. Now I have to buy another hub, for testing I grabbed the one off the big computer, if I don't put it back my wife is going to get really annoyed in the morning when the keyboard and mouse don't work!
