Remote DAC connection to Computer -Shoot Me Now


My compuer is remote to my stereo system. I have an Audiolab 8200CDQ which has USB type B male input to the DAC. I've been trying to send FLAC files on my WIN 7 64bit PC via several different type of devices supplied by several vendors. Device 1 was Silex SX-3000GB USB over ethernet. Device 2 IOGEAR Wireless 4-Port USB Sharing to Audiolab.

I'm receiving a BSOD with this device trying to attach a Audiolab 8200CDQ CD player by either type of device. Audiolab connects just fine when USB connect directly to PC. I also used a laptop to connect to Audiolab and use its wireless connection to access my main PC files and stream them through the laptop to the Audiolab.

I can't believe this can't be done. Any input for a solution for me?

Well, I gave up. Hopefully someone else will find this thread and not go thru the same hoops. I guess a Mac Mini is for me.

That would have been my first piece of advice. Try to send files with some kind of a Mac just to make sure it isn't a windows issue. If it is, then you
May need a driver to make it work.

I did work with some of the Support Groups for the devices I tried. But, they are just not willing to work in-depth with you. While their products work with printers, scanners, and hard drives via wireless or ethernet USB, they just don't make considerations for a USB DAC. It's really too bad. Think how many other WIN users that will attempt what I did. I saw threads at different sites trying the samething I was attempting. The only solution I saw was to use Squeezebox and change the USB connection so that it would send music out thru its USB to the DAC. That change for the Squeezebox was a hack change and not supported by the Sqeezebox vendor.
