My ODac suddenly stopped working. It turned out that the USB cable was the problem so remember to check this cable as well if there is no sound.
One question. Is there really difference in USB cables?

Hey Ray - That is the question of the 21st century - The short answer, is 'most definitely', the long answer is, it shouldnt, and with current progress in USB audio application, perhaps, one day it will not. Its one of those things that us crazyphiles watch with bated breath. I think we will get there. From my experience with recent DACs it appears we are very close to parity on the differences with SPDIF digital inputs. --- Stay tuned!

Hey you are an audiophile, it HAS to make a difference, and in case you disagree, then being an audiophile, you have to check it out and confirm!!!
shreekant ;D ;D

zeroes and ones
either they all get there or they don't
in your case they didn't, which is why it stopped worked.
again: either it works or it doesn't. I can't see how there could be an in between, as is the case with analog. I'd like to see one double-blind test proving me wrong.

It could also have been a loose connection which would make it work fine sometimes, not at all other times, and intermittently just to cause headaches. I had that problem with an HDMI cable/connection.
