Boot the Id into text mode 3 and follow the link Jim posted above to check if the DAC shows up.
The other thing you could try is plugging the DAC in AFTER the Id has booted. (give it a minute to detect it)
I just read the manual for your DAC and its a UAC2 DAC. It may have loaded in USB1.1 compatibility mode on the Id before when it was working.
Have you changed any settings in the DAC or the Id Bios? The USB ports must be in high speed USB 2 mode or the DAC wont work.
Where abouts in Australia are you? Maybe I can help you out. Im on Sydney's north shore.
Morning:
Thanks Hiltonk,
I'm in Ipswich Queensland.
The Id initially did not boot when first installed.
This was traced to the SSD dive not being firmly located into the connector (knock in transit?).
It initially took several boots for the Id to recognize the Leema Elements DAC.
It was good for a few days, then the DAC display changed after I updated the Id (to fix the license issue).
After the update the Leema Elements DAC changed it's sample rate input display from USB Async 44.1KHz No data (see
http://www.leema-acoustics.com/documents/manuals/USB%20Driver%20Installation%20Windows%208.pdf) to USB Async 192 kHz No data.
The display on the DAC normally reports back the Sample Rate, ASYNC and FB< I > .
Two days later the Id started cutting out after playing a few tracks.
I have not changed any settings in the DAC or BIOS.
I have checked the audio devices via a web browser.
It only lists the default settings (see below).

Plugging in the DAC after the Id had booted made no difference.
When I plug in the Cambridge Audio Dac Magic it displays these settings:

This is the same menu that used to be It is the iec958:CARD=Set,DEV=0 [ALSA] audio device setting that I previously used to load the Leema Elements DAC.
It's definitely not the Leema Elements DAC that is causing the problem.
I tried a creative fix this morning. I plugged the DAC Magic back in a selected the iec958:CARD=set,DEV=) [ALSA] audio device setting and then unplugged the USB from the DAC Magic and plugged in the (powered on) Leema Elements DAC.
Eureka, it worked! For how long I don't know.
The Leema is displaying the correct 44.1KHZ Sample Rate, ASYNC and FB< I > .
The Id is also back in Network "Computer" on my main PC (having disappeared when the fault arose), although it was always displayed there in "Media Devices" (No conversion) and "Other Devices" as a media server.
I have noticed that with the Leema Elements DAC connected there are two DAC audio options.
Should I stay with the iec958:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 [ALSA] or use the front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 [ALSA]

It has been an extremely time consuming and frustrating exercise.
What concerns me is that I still don't know what went wrong and of more concern, will it do it again ?
Early Evening:
Well, my elation was short lived!
I played an entire album without any problems.
I had to go out for a while, so shut everything down.
When I rebooted the Id, the Leema Elements DAC displayed a sample rate of 192KHZ.
When I played the first track of an album, the display rate reverted to 44.1KHZ.
The Id stopped after only playing 1 track.
The Id is no longer displayed in "Network" under "Other Devices" (No media Server).
The iec958:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 [ALSA] setting is still displayed in audio devices.
So where do I go from here?
Is the return freight to JRiver covered by them under warranty?
