USB3.0 is designed to be backward compatible to all lower USB. If it doesn't work, then it is most likely a driver issue on the PC side and not on HA-2.

+1 on this, there is no good reason why any USB2.0 DAC shouldn't work/be compatible with a computer's USB3.0 ports.
 
I have the HA-2 working flawlessly through both a Macbook Air's and an HP EliteBook's USB3.0 outputs, no problems at all on either OS X El Capitan, or Windows 7.

Apologies if this has been discussed, I searched various places, here included, and have come up empty. 
 
On the 3 Macs I have access to, running 10.11.1, in the Audio MIDI Setup, I only see option for 16 and 32bit. Should I be seeing 24 also? I had a D1 that showed 16 and 24. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

this amp/DAC is fantastic. i use it paired with my lh labs geekout V2 to amp out enough to power my HD 600's and it's so clean and beautiful. plenty of headroom


 


use it as a DAC directly to my Dunu DN2KJ's and it's just as sublime. 


 


amazing stuff. pairs perfectly with those setups.

Has anyone with ha 2 tried the chord MOJO, apparently it is a step above this...

You are in for a lot of fun!  
 
Get yourself one of these to make the iPod Touch and HA-2 more pocketable that it can be with the OPPO lightning cable:   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VRJZ2CY

I'm thinking over to purchase this device on oppodigital.com 'cause it's cheaper over there than on any store of my country. Quite cheaper. The issue is the customs charges. Does anyone know if they will help to avoid or lower those import charges? It is undue the price difference between Europe and the United States of the HA-2 ($150USD or over).

in price it sure is! I had the Mojo for 10 days and I own the HA2 for along time, I myself still prefer the HA2. The Mojo does sound awesome but so does my HA2 setup, especially with the PM3s.

Yeah price is about double. Good to see a differing opinion on the two. Wish there was a place that u can demo. But like you I've found the ha 2 to be really great. Just thinking if MOJO was a noticeable step up, I might get that.

Thanks for the input
