Hi.
Anyone tried to use an external DAC using the USB-Host functionality of the N900?
To be precise iam talking about Audioquest Dragonfly, a tiny USB powered DAC-Stick.
It works out of the Box with Linux on any machine if testet it with it so far, so guess it should be possible in theory, but someone might actually testet it here.
Looking forward to some positive Feedback if possible, of someone that might know more about that special idea as the onboard-sound is terrible on the N900.
Cheers.
tl:dr: possible to use mplayer, MOC and other programs that directly access ALSA (and allow to specify the interface), very limited success redirecting the standard output of e.g. the mediaplayer.
My usb port is broken in the meantime, that's why I didn't made any further attemps, but apart from playback also basic recording from an usb soundcard worked.
