Thanks to all for your responses. PS Audio confirmed that the Digital Link iii will not show up as a High Speed Device. They also confirmed that high definition (24 bit 96/192) capable USB DACs will utilize the High speed bus while the DLiii is only 16/48 USB.
High Speed USB DAC?
A recent article in Stereophile ( July 2011, page 45 ) indicates better sound may be achieved when a USB DAC is on a High Speed USB bus.
I have a PS Audio Digital Link iii. My Mac Mini, using as Music Server, will only recognize the USB Audio Codec ( PS AUDIO DLiii ) on the Non High Speed USB Bus. I've contacted PS Audio and they don't seem to have a clue about this. Anyone know if this device is capable as a High Speed USB device? Am I wasting my time and won't see any realistic sound improvement?
Thanks in advance
