Hi linuxhardware gang
i’ve been having some issue on my headphone jack, and the sound quality has never been great. this is on a small mini pc running arch linux.
So what i’m looking for is a device i can plug into my usb (preferably usb-C) and Linux will use it to play audio. i plan to plug that device into my amp, which i can use headphone jack or those white and red plugs for.
I hope USB DAC is the proper term, i’m kind of struggling to find products that do this.
anyway, does anyone have experience with products like this on linux? i don’t want to have to hack together the software side. even just a brand recommendation will help.
Am personally using a shiit magni modi stack on endeavour os.
So i think any sort of dac should do, as long as its just a “stupid” dac. So just usb in sound out without any other fancy features that might require a driver.
I’m also running a schiit stack and would recommend it.
thank you both, i’ll see if i can get a schiit modi shipped to me for reasonable price. it seems that is what i’m looking for.
You can also just get a Apple usb-c to aux “dongle” (which is a mighty fine dac)
