I just tried it on my Macbook Yosemite (haven't upgraded to El Capital yet) and it works fine, but you do need to go into System Preferences > Sound > Output and select CEntrance as an output device. You may need to do the same in Windows in the sounds settings and make sure its outputting the sound to the CEntrance. Also I know this goes without saying but make sure that the volume is turned on the CEntrance itself.

Hopefully your suggestions will work for him! If not, he may need to try another CEntrance driver. Good looking out on the volume suggestion as well. Definitely the system/computer/device volume, application/music playback application volume and the DACport Slim volumes theirselves should all be checked.

LOL. Thanks man. Feel like an idiot. You were so right. I found a third pair of micro usb caleb and this time it worked. I guess the other two were charge only like you said.

So happy it worked for you! Whew!

Please enjoy and have a great day/night!

I just got my DACport Slim from Massdrop and I am really impressed. To my hears the sound is very detailed and pleasant and way better than what I was using before. I got this for work to use with my PC360 after the side volume control started to fail. I think I am ready to change them for some better headphones and an external mic. It worked for me on a PC and a Mac without issues. It worked even with the crappy USB power of my PC motherboard while my Schiit Fulla didn't. Too bad I didn't get the HD version since I was kind of skeptic after the Fulla experience and I didn't want to spend the money.

Welcome to Head-Fi, morinu, and glad you are impressed with the DACport Slim!  You really can't go wrong with this device, especially for the price.

I got the Dacport Slim on impulse and was going to sell it off.  But this things is really good. It's both technically competent and very musical.
I had the Geek Out v.1 and while it was technically excellent, it just didn't sound very musical.  
I also had the Dragon Fly version 2, Merdian Explorer, and Schiit Fulla (which was just bad to my ears) and of course had the Dacport (original version long ago which I really enjoyed) but this one is to my ears is the best. It's like the Original Dacport but more fuller with better imaging and detail. 
 
For $99, you really can't beat it or find anything better.
 
PS: I have not heard the Geek Out V2, which I hear again is technically great for the price, but I just don't like their house sound (kind of on the dry and sterile side).

Thanks for your impressions!  I've listened to a lot of USB DAC/amps and larger desktop-type DAC/amps as well, and for the price, the DACport Slim is a technical wonder on paper (low THD, etc.) but more importantly, just plain sounds great.  I agree it sounds full with exemplary detail as well.  The size, weight and power relative to sound output is still what gets me to this day - smiles ear to ear.

BTW, I am able to also use it with iPhone and iPad with Dr. Bott T3Hub (which is a passive hub) hooked to a portable usb power supply.

Great to hear? Which version of IOS on the Ipad are you using? Any idea if it could also be fed from android phone?

Beautiful, thanks for the pics and description! This setup may allow a lot of smartphone-type devices and quite possibly even DAPs to run.
