any NMT supports USB audio?
hi,
my first post so hello everyone  is there any NMT supporting an USB dac? i would like to plug it into a stereo amplifier with speakers, for music playback.. from what i have read so far, all NMTs go with multichannel audio, so they downmix for stereo.. also built in DACs probably have not the best audio quality. i was quite interested in the popcorn hour A300, but it apparently doesn't support USB audio.. so is anything?thanx, |

RE: any NMT supports USB audio?
Why don't you feed digital audio via SPDIF/Toslink to your external DAC?

Because i have only USB input in the dac (nuforce uDac)... it has excellent audio quality so i'd rather not replace it... also i've heard that PCH doesnt play FLAC audio via SPDIF (due to some media copyright issues), is that true?

FLAC is free and open codec and PCH does play FLAC trough SPDIF. |

RE: any NMT supports USB audio?
PCH players play a lot of formats, but still there are some that are not supported like SACD, DSD, MIDI and others.
Downmixing means decoding to stereo PCM. Please refer to the specifications of a particular model. |
