Do you need to install for USB drivers from TEAC in order for the USB DAC to work with a computer? Will it work fine without the drivers?

In my PC, win7-64bit, it dont works with win drivers. I have not tried TEAC drivers yet.

I just installed the drivers from TEAC now and it´s all OK. Win7-64. The only problem is a little hum noise in phones out. I do not know it this is a issue of my unit in particular.

No drivers necessary. Just plug it into your USB port and it functions as expected. I formatted mine once by accident, but did not need to install any driver afterwards.

No. The USB port is made to connect to a computer and it turns the device into an audio card.Then, you play your music from your computer through the Teac.

Answer: INCORRECT The USB connection ALSO supplies audio (FROM) your computer TO the Muse DAC.

"The mic", I had to buy a USB Converter, but I got mine for $2.18. So its not to bad. I got mine at ----> HDE 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter. The mic isn't powered, so it needs a usb converter. Plus almost all computers have usb, not line-in.

Yes it has a DAC because it has a headphone output jack. I assume the quality of the DAC is the same as the ADC used to digitize the audio to begin with. However, I have not used the phone jack.

Android supports USB DACS. How well depends on your manufacturer and what apps are being used. Check with your manufacturer and Google. https://source.android.com/devices/audio/usb.html

I have heard with my ears and from Tek Syndicate on YouTube they do not need a DAC. So they should be fine with on board audio.

I use mine strictly for my high resolution audio all onboard sound boards have to be disabled in order to get the full capability of a DAC when used with a 5.1 home theater it's nothing but a brick the HT head unit will mess with the bit stream and the DAC will do it's best but you're feeding it 50% of the data A DACs place in my setup goes like this Laptop usb out DAC high quality RCA plugs to AMP to speakers the fewer steps between the source audio and the DAC the better hope that helps

I'm on a Mac so no. However, Peachtree support was great when I had a question. The DAC offers such amazing sound for the price so any short-lived driver hurdles would be worth it.

Yes, you run it to your preamp. Just like any other DAC. Oh & bye the way the TEAC sounds remarkable!!!

Yes, do not remember the situation with the driver. Plugged it in and it worked. I have since moved onto Mac, so I am no longer using this. Instead I use an SB1090 to drive my Logitech sound system, and it works awesum. Connects through USB hub.

I doubt it. It's not a standard USB audio device and requires a custom driver (at least on PC and OS X). TEAC don't supply a an Android driver. I don't know of any Android devices that support the optical or coax ports.

This should work without drivers. As long as the PC can handle the USB receiver which is USB 2.0 it should be fine. I have used this on 3 different pcs and did not load drivers on any of them.

Maybe. The E7 when used as the output for a computer (defaulting sound device as usb-dac), the signal processing is bypassing the on board processor and outputting directly to the E7. I think bypassing on board sound to the E7 also disables the mic input. So I see how it's possible to usb connect the E7 and then use one of the headphone jacks as a connect to the mic, but I haven't tried this yet. I will check this later once I find a computer with a mic input.

You can use it as a DAC for your PC or laptop even a tablet if it has the optical in or you can use it via the usb cable too. You can also connect it to a receiver that has an optical port too. Check irivers website too they got all the specs up there.
