Here's my question.

Say I want to use two USB DACs with my MacBook Pro... at the same time. Is this workable? I would try it myself, but I don't have my Bithead with me at the moment to add to my uDAC. My goal would be to output two digital signals to two separate USB DACs, through two different usb cables at the same time to provide two rigs with the same music. Can someone try this or respond if you know it will work or not.

You can only select one output device at a time, so this won't work. That is unless one of your DAC's has a digital through option, then you can chain them.

darn!

I'm curious as to why, you intriguing chap.

I suppose I'll just plug and unplug at the laptop then. I really wanted to output two digital signals at once to feed two different rigs, oh well.

How about creating an aggregate device?

Never tried it myself, but worth a try.

Thanks krmathis,
I'll give it a try when I get home tomorrow.

Let us know. Cause if it works it sure may be helpful to others..

It could work if you use two different programs. Do you need the DACs to be in sync with each other?

Well i left my bithead at my parents house again so I'll have to wait for Wednesday at least to see, dohhhhhh! I don't need the dacs to be in sync, but it would be sweet if I could.

So I tried it and it and it doesn't work. The digitil signal only goes to only one dac at the time. Oh well, one digital rig it is then. Thanks for all the responses.
