I've plugged my Stealth DC-1 into my Mac mini's USB port but the DAC doesn't show up in Roon. I tried plan B (TOSLINK optical) and the DAC still isn't recognized by Roon (but when I select "headphone jack" in Roon - where the optical output is), then the Stealth picks up the optical signal & I've got music.
What am I missing?

What am I missing? I assume this is related to your other post, I don’t know anything about Roon, but is ‘Speaker’ selected in the output tab of the Sound function in System Preferences? Or does Roon show you ‘Speaker’? |

I've enabled speaker. Will check function this morning.

That did it. With "Speaker" selected as the Roon output device, the DAC receives data on the USB port. One other question if I might? I notice that the default output for the Mac mini is 48kHz. My library is 44.1. Should I change it or let it ride at the higher output frequency?
Postscriptum - The TOSLINK connection I listened to last night sounded AWESOME! The USB will have to be a stunner to do better. Will it?

Change it to 44.1
You might want to put it in exclusive mode.

Also (and you may know this) “ Speaker” (the name the DC-1 advertises on USB), disappears if you turn off the the DC-1‘s rear switch, or remove its power. I’ve found that it always repopulates itself on the Mac in the Sound widget or MIDI utility, I don’t know if that’s the case for Roon, which may have caused your original issue. |
