migrating from Windows to Mac... how to set up for bit-4-bit perfect output?
Awesome Donkey:
Actually, if you're using Windows 10 Creators Update it has support for USB Audio Class 2.0 (finally, Windows was literally the only OS lacking that support until now), meaning it can do beyond 96 kHz sample rates without needing to install drivers first.

let me try

ps- so i tried the Audirvana free version on the Mac, and followed these instructions (just to see if all the hardware path was ok):
https://www.24bit96.com/usb-computer-audio-system/bitperfect-mac.html
and the USB connection to my PS audio (cullen 3 modified, like this one: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/psaudio6/cullen.html) sounded HORRIBLE...i kept trying different configurations, and after reading all nite, looks like the PS audio drivers for USB are complete sh!t :(
i found this:

The SPDIF accepts anything (if I read it correctly) upto and including 192KHz, I tried
41 – 48 – 88.2 – 176.4 – 192 KHz – it stops at 352.8KHz, you get an error message.

So it looks like I'm still stuck with this idiotic Musiland dongle, or will have to upgrade/change my DAC >:(

If your DAC only supports 44.1 and 48 on it's USB input then no "usb dongle" is going to change that. How does the musiland hook up to your DAC? USB? Toslink?
If it's using TOSLINK, then I suppose it's just acting as a USB to Toslink converter, which is fine. It's just a bit confusing because the Musiland Monitor 1 is advertised as a USB DAC. I don't see any mention of it's use as a digital to digital converter.
If you wanted a different USB to coaxial or USB to toslink converter there are others available. Schiit just announced a new one recently that seems like a great product. On the other hand if I was going to drop ~$200 on a converter, I'd probably just buy one of Schiit's mid priced DACs instead like the Bifrost Multibit perhaps...
Good luck.
Brian.

Correct, I've been using it only as a USB-digiCoax converter, and sending the digicoax to the DAC, which is ok (I've verified it's receiving 96 and 192).
The musiland 02 and newer actually engage an internal dad, but the 01 (which is the one I'm using) is only a converter
