I have never used the dac because my MacBook Pro has an optical out that can be fed into the dac. Why mess with a USB implementation?
Two reasons for me:
You can't bypass core audio using optical so all your notification sounds will come through the dac. With usb you can set notifications to go out the computer speakers.
I have an rwak120-b and the balanced out only works standalone or when using as usb dac, but not through optical in.
I've been using it with the optical in and SE output while I figure out the usb issue
just saw this is X5 thread....

Might finally be able to get rid of the SD converters
