Re: Teac DAC, I've read someone can make it work fine via USB 16/2/44100, but NOT ME...

Dear Eric and list, 

I have a Teac UD-H01 (I assume that you are talking about that one). It
works fine at 16bits/any frequency but I have crackles (much like you
are reporting) in 24bit mode (at any frequency over 48kHz). I am not
much of an expert (in particular, I'm at loss concerning 24 bit
playback) so I am not sure I can help. 

In any case, the 16 bit modes worked "out of the box" on Fedora 18
running a 3.11 series kernel, on USB 2 as well as on USB 3 ports. I did
learn though that pulse-audio can be a pain when testing your interface:
it will transform any stream to a default format so you never know
exactly what your DAC receives. The upshot is that you should test
things using aplay, after disabling pulse. If you are already doing this
you may have a look at the thread "teac UD-H01, bad 24 bit playback" for
details. If your problem persists when playing a 16 bit file through
aplay, we could try to figure out in what way your setup differs from
mine. 

Best, 
Rutger.
