Hi guys,
I purchased the above card in order to have easy access to digital out from my Mac, which in turn would allow me to use any DAC.
The problem is that the card, while working w/o problems, makes my system unstable, which I cannot stand. My Mac never ever crashes, I could not even remember the last time I had to reboot, but since I inserted the card (PCI) I have some problems. So.....
So, I now figure I should either use an A/X (not my preferred solution though) or "ideally" a USB DAC. There are not many choices for the latter but the key question is, does anyone have experience with using a usb DAC with his Mac ? Is it at least worth the try ?
My Mac, btw, is a Powermac Dual 1.25 (OS 10.4.5).
best,
ww
