DAC / USB outputs in MONO? HELP


Hello,

At 73 I'm attempting to upgrade my office system and I can NOT seem to get a stereo signal out of my DAC? I have used various on line samples that are "in phase" and have audio. When I attempt an "out of phase" signal I get nothing from either channel? I have also tried "spoken left-right-center" samples and all these samples are the same on both channels?

System configuration:

Desktop PC Win10 (Amazon Music) with 20ft USB into a SMSLSu8 DAC, direct into Threshold 400A amplifier driving Magnepan LRS speakers.

Any help folks would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers' Darrell

I thought a USB cable had a limit of 5 meters max (around 16 feet) before signal degradation happens. Can you try a shorter cable to see if that works?

Kind of went down that road and thought that the limitation of 5 meters is for supply voltage losses. My DAC SMSL Su8 has an internal power supply. 

I have just discovered that there is a problem with my SMSL DFU driver which has a yellow caution tag???
