TEAC AI-101DA USB working?

twinpeaks

Hi,
I installed RuneAudio on a Raspberry 2. It's working really fine but a separate DAC is needed definitely. Since I also need a new, smaller amp (restricted space), an amp with integrated DAC would be nice. So I found the TEAC AI-101DA. I surely could use the toslink input with a HiFiBerry Digi+ or similar, but using the amp's USB port would be nicer, because no HiFiBerry is needed and both toslink inputs would be free for other sources. I couldn't find a definitive answer, does RuneAudio (or Linux in general) support the USB port of the AI-101DA?

i think you need to talk to TEAC official support!
here you go: teac.com/support

Although I didn't expect an answer other than "we don't support Linux" I contacted Teac service last week and asked if they know if this thing works in Linux. No answer at all until now.
I let you know should they still send a reply.

I would say -yes.
I have a Teac NP-H750 which has a built in dac I connect to my RPi via a USB cable.

I would say yes to since I run an AD-301DA without problems

While this might not be relevant to your setup, I wanted to share that my ai-101da works with linux on a rock64 (SBC similar to a pi). I'm running Armbian 20.11.6 with Alsa. I'm not familiar with runeaudio, so I'm sorry I can't help more specifically.
