Anyone can help with a question in use of Boulder 866....

I have just got a Boulder 866 in my hands, a really nice equipment.

I have tested and learned on it about almost all of its different functions.

Now I have a question ...

Have anyone ever made the sound of YouTube from your personal computer with USB output connected to the USB input of 866 ?

I understand signals from PC are basically low-end sound signals but l just have the interest in knowing.

I think the basic question should be Whether 866 can be connected in this type.

I have done but NO SOUND. It appeared at that time seemingly the personal computer and 866 didn't know each other.

Anyone can help?

Thank you!

Once you load the driver on the PC it should recognize the Boulder USB DAC when plugged in. USB isn't always plug n play, sometimes it's plug n pray.
