JackOfAll / Triode - thank you SO much for the detail replies. That is
exactly the type of insight I was hoping to find here. :)

However, I'm a bit of a Linux lightweight, so will have to do a bit of
research/learning before I can respond (in an informed manner) to some
of your thoughts and suggestions. Will not pull down this thread with
stupid questions, but instead will reply soon (after said research). But
for now...

I was under the impression that the only issue with the DragonFly DAC
with regard to the "need" for a hub was in relation to its drawing more
power than is allowed by the USB 2.X standard. And that hubs somehow
(don't understand the mechanism) shield the device to which they are
attached from realizing that such a draw was occuring (or maybe even
that the hub prevents such a draw). So I'm unclear about why a hub would
be required for an imx6 device (and yes JackOfAll, the Cubox-I is one),
as long as the power draw was not set high enough to exceed that USB 2.X
allowed amount. And I've tested this setting the output volumes (aka
power draw, as set by aslamixer) at every possible level, and the result
is the same click/pop/crackle. AND I think it's worth noting - as stated
previously - that it works with none of those undesirable sonic
artifacts under Volumio, assuming I'm oversampling. Whether or not that
qualifies "working" with an imx6 device would be a matter of symantics I
suppose. 

So again, thanks for the help. Will reply again soon, once I can do so
from a BIT more of an informed position.

And to go OT for just a moment... Triode, thank's a MILLION for making
this WONDERFUL tool available to the masses. :D
