Hi. I am a new non-engineer customer and am thinking of using the Tascam UH-7000 as a DAC to feed my 2.1 set-up. I usually stream audio via Tidal and occasionally Spotify.
My signal chain is as follows
PC running Windows 7 64-bit and MC 20 → DAC (AQ Dragonfly v1.2) → 3.5mm headphone out to RCA splitter → One pair of RCA cables goes to subwoofer (Velodyne CT-120) and another to power amp (Emotiva XPA-200) that powers my bookshelf speakers.
I know at least one of you kind folk have the above mentioned device so I was wondering if I could replace the Dragonfly with the Tascam UH-7000 and connect my power amp with the XLR connections (the XPA-200 has a pair of XLR inputs) and the headphone jack at the front of the Tascam unit to feed my powered subwoofer (Velodyne CT-120). I would use the cross-over capability in MC where I would send the frequencies <80 Hz to the subwoofer and the remaining to the amp+bookshelves. Is this possible? If yes, what should I watch out for? Believe me, I have read numerous forum posts, but at some point my non-engineering background rears its ugly head and I get lost.

Anyone please? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

You should be able to replace one USB DAC with another, but it's not possible to answer your question with any certainty.

Thanks Jim. I eventually called Tascam and they said that both outputs from the UH-7000 send the same audio signal so he seemed to think that's a no go. He suggested the US-366 but I went ahead and ordered the Focusrite 2i4 because the specs were a bit more clearer. Fingers crossed.
