Topic: Trouble connecting through USB
I recently purchased an RME ADI-2 Pro FS R to use as a preamp for my audio system and to also use for 2 channel audio for my tv. My tv is hooked up through the optical port and I have a Mac Mini connected through usb to stream audio. The issue that I am having is that when the optical cable is plugged in, the usb will not work. When I stream music from Amazon HD through usb with this setup, I have to unplug the optical cable and it starts working. I am assuming that the dac gives priority to the optical connection over usb and since I am using the tv as the Mac mini monitor, it is getting a signal from the tv. I have tried to turn off auto switching and selected “usb” and it still behaves exactly the same. Is there any setting to give usb priority over optical with this setup? I am still learning how to use this device and am blown away at the sound quality difference compared to other dacs/preamp combos I’ve tried so I really hope there is a quick fix for this.
Thanks for your help.
