Hi,
I've connected my C2 to two different DAC (both Schiit models using CM Media chips). When sending audio to the dacs (using squeezelite), especially at higher sample rates like 96kHz, there is noticeable stuttering in the sound, like the system has skipped some sound, or is trying to catch up.
I've tested this with a very large range of buffer sizes (alsa buffer and application buffer), and having found any workable solution.. This is similar to what I find with RPi (B+), but I was hoping that the much faster C2 and no other devices on the USB bus would help avoid this issue.
I've checked the most basic audio output program I know of - aplay - and on a 24/96 file it has bad static sound. On adjusting to shorter period between interrupts (-F 20) the static disappears but I still hear the stuttering (one every couple of seconds).
Ironically a much slower Pogoplug E02 with less memory has no problem with audio via USB, even when other devices are using the bus. I have been looking for a more current replacement for my Pogoplug.
