About a week ago I bought this item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-192-DAC-CM6631-CS4398-USB-to-COAX-ANALOG-HEADPHONE-OUTPUT-/261240029700?pt=US_Amplifier_Parts_Components&hash=item3cd31e8204
I've only had it for about a day but it's already been a bit of a hassle trying to get it to work. At first the linked drivers weren't the correct ones so after searching for the correct ones I discovered this thread and found a driver that works, namely CM6631 Emotiva XDA-2 Unified Windows USB Driver.
After that it worked just fine, all the different resolutions were selectable all the way up to 24/192 (not 32 though. is that right?). In foobar however I could select 32bit in the asio control panel.
Anyway, at first I had only my headphones connected and the device was identifying the connected equipment as headphones. I then figured I should connect my speakers with rca and did so and the device then correctly identified them as speakers.
But after that, I can only choose 16/44 & 16/48, both in sound controlpanel and in foobar. Disconnecting the speakers and only using my headphones makes no difference and the device still says speakers are connected.
Why has this happened?
I find it hard to believe the unit could be faulty since it worked at first.
Regarding firmware, this is what it says:
USB\VID_0D8C&PID_0319&REV_0101&MI_00
Is it a firmware problem perhaps?
Could I have damaged the unit when I connected my speakers? I connected them through a receiver which was in standby if that has any bearing.
Any help is much appreciated.
