ODAC Tweaks Help (asound.conf)

Hi There

I have recently been testing shairport with a ODAC usb DAC from http://epiphany-acoustics.co.uk/product ... e-usb-dac/

I have managed to get it working without too many problems, but I don't think the audio is quite right and I am unclear about the best setting for the asound.conf file the get the best audio out of the DAC. My audio does occasionally break up during playback.

I was wondering if anyone is using a ODAC and would be able to share the tweaks with me for best audio performance?

My astound.conf file currently looks like this?

pcm.usbdac {
type hw;
card Audio;
}
ctl.usbdac {
type hw;
card Audio;
}
pcm.!default usbdac

Also are there any other files I should tweak.

Sorry for all the questions, I have tried to understand many of the various tutorials out there, but have zero knowledge of this stuff so any advice would be hugely helpful.

Cheers

Matt

further to my original post I have removed all settings from the astound.conf and rebooted and the audio still working through the DAC.

Am I missing something here??
