No worries. And thank you for the suggestions.
A DAC out USB port is made especially for that purpose? Interesting. I’ll look into that.
Does the output option affect CPU usage? I assume it’s minimal if any.

Drivers are one thing about USB that worries me. Is it usually pretty seamless, plug and play now a days?

Haven’t settled on the motherboard yet. But you’re definitely correct. It maybe difficult to find ones with anything other than USB.
But assuming you had all the options, what do you recommend?

That’s very helpful to know. Thank you. I assume they are labeled or advertised as much?
If you don’t use it for DAC out, can it be used for normal USB purposes?
Speaking of which, does it matter what USB port version is used for a output to a DAC, as in 2.0, 3.0 etc?
I guess that depends on what the DAC USB input is spec’d to?
