I build a Alien Dac too, but I have some problems. When attaching it to my PC it says 'Unknown device (device might be broken)'. Does anyone have an idea what i might have done wrong?

So I sill think bypassing the Muses might be worth the experiment, but in my case, it didn't seem to matter. |

I bought 100 recently. Of course, the NP0/COG are more expensive than the X5(7)R. Still, these are generally used all over the place in electronics (not just audio). |
