Final Update:
So another update on the ODAC issue. This past Tuesday I had shipped the ODAC to JDS Labs for inspection. On Friday I received the ODAC back with a note that there was an issue with the USB section of the ODAC, and it was replaced for free!
Thanks JDS Labs, A+ company!
Definitely will order from them again, very easy to deal with their customer service and they were very helpful.

I posted this in the dedicated sources section, but I want to post this here too because usually us DIY guys know better anyways...
I'm having some trouble with my ODAC. When I plug it in to certain computers or sources, it will work, and with others it refuses to output sound. See examples below:
Windows 7 Desktop (works with other DAC's over same USB port) --> USB Cable --> ODAC = "Windows doesn't recognize this device"
Windows 8 Laptop --> USB Cable --> ODAC = WORKS!
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Rooted, with with other DAC's) --> USB OTG Cable --> ODAC = Device not recognized by Linux
Modded Squeezebox Touch --> USB Cable --> ODAC = WORKS!
So what the heck is going on here? Is this a common issue? Is it just shoddy hardware?
PS: It makes a high pitched noise for a moment when it powers up, much like an old school camera flash would. Is this a problem?
Thanks!
