I use the ODAC with my laptop and it doesn't "whine", but it happened when it was connected to a friend's desktop that was turned off. So it is not your ODAC's fault, it probably is because of the laptop. In any case, unplugging it...

It is completely normal. Happens to mine when connected to a desktop PC too. Not when using it with my laptop though.

If possible try it on another computer to see if the problem is the ODAC itself. Also, try using it with any USB hub you have lying around and see if it helps. A generic $5 hub helped me resolve my issue (3 posts up).

I've been using foobar2000 for a couple of years now, and something has caught my attention.   I generally play my music shuffled. Sometimes, apparently randomly, within 1 second of the start of a track the volume level seems...

Received the ODAC today, and have been listening to it for the past 2 hours. I am very pleased with my purchase. (got it from Head'n'HiFi)   Win7 recognized it without any problems and foobar config was a breeze. Initial...
