I can say that not alla the DACs are the vary same. My Teac seems to disconnect the USB whenever it goes into standby or the input is switched to another. Question: what should happen if a USB DAC is unplugged while playing? I have two USB DAC and in both cases, if I unplug the DAC, the pCP of course stops, but if I plug again the DAC, then the pCP will never restart until I reboot the pCP completely. Sometimes it is enough to restart just SqueezeLite, but not always... random behaviour. Of curse with Windows... no problems. It is not a matter of Power... believe me... I have a FLuke digital sampling multimeter and my 2.5 A power supply never drops voltage below 5 V even during boot process. I connected the Rpi3 and the LCD touch to two different power supplier and the problems is still there. Embedded WiFi, external 5 Ghz Edimax or wired Ethernet... no changes.
