I want to find out if I can connect a Mac or PC to the USB port on a N130 and use it as a DAC.

I was told by someone at Bluesound booth at a tradeshow that I can do that with the latest firmware update on my N130. I am running the most current firmware (version 4.10.13).

Thanks,

Baskaran

  Sorry this is not an option, the USB can be used to connect a memory stick (or similar) or an external DAC. The new Node Icon does however have a USB-C input that you can connect a computer to.

  You could get a cheap ddc such as a SMSL PO100pro and go from the the toslink out of the PO100pro to the toslink in of the n130.
