Valab DAC Question

I just noticed that whenever I plug my USB cable into the dac, it disables both the optical and the coax inputs. The optical/coax switch becomes useless.

Has anyone else noticed that?

I really think this might be what some people refer to as a Giant Killer. Pro's: Excellent listening experience. Nice to have USB input to get my files to my HIFI. Low cost ($200) makes it a low risk purchase. Many mods online for it now. Kevin at Valab seems reachable for questions and suggestions for mods. Con's Not as attractive as most other HIFI gear. No documentation. ( not really needed I guess ) I really like mine. I can't think of any reason for anyone looking for a dac not to at least satisfy their curiosity and test one out. Ask any Valab owner and I bet you will hear the same thing. Happy listening!
