Schiit DACs and USB

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    I am considering building out a system strictly for music playback and I have the following hardware:

    Intel NUC DCCP847DYE (old one, I know but I can't imagine I'd need more) with 4GB of DDR3 and 32GB internal storage

    Schiit Bifrost multibit DAC which I intend to connect via USB

    Given that it's a NUC I'll be using the generic x86/x64 image and want to ensure that using ALSA is an option for the audio system.

    I also would like to make sure that the distro that this is built on supports UAC2 for the USB audio connection. The info I found from Schiit says that their DACs should work fine on linux provided that it supports this.

    I saw in the libreELEC documentation that there is an option to auto-share external hard drives which should make it easy to move new music to my external drive!

    Thanks in advance :)
