I can only tell you what I know second hand as I don't own one, but our
keyboard player does. His unit will only do 16/44.1 reliabily on USB 2.0
with a certified USB 2.0 cable. Sometimes if everything is just right
24/96. But of course most of this doesn't matter for stereo system use
with a Squeezebox.

But getting back to stereo use, I didn't say it couldn't be hooked up
to a stereo. By not providing XLR or RCAs, one has to do it the Mickey
Mouse way with adapters or some oddball cables from Radio Shack.
Basically what I'm saying is save the $175 and get an audio only Stereo
DAC. IMO for my money, I would rather just use a plain SB3/SBR or get a
nice audio only DAC to use with either of them. That's all I'm saying.

If somebody is just using it with a computer only or with a
mixing/recording/midi/computer setup, it has a lot going for it. As for
me, I will again say I would rather just use an SB3 then put this device
inbetween my SB3/SBR and Pre-Amp/Receiver.
