MEASUREMENTS: Audioengine D3 mini USB DAC / headphone amp.

[Archimago]

Hi guys. Lots of chatter in the last while with the Geek Out and these
small USB DACs starting with the Dragonfly a couple years back...

Got my hands on the Audioengine D3 locally and wanted to check out the
performance using a few different machines. Not bad at all given the USB
power and all!

Happy spring!

Nice little thing , wonder how it would fare with squeezelite on one of
those plug computer cubie boxes or RasPI or wandboard and whatnot , you
may have to get an 3,5mm headphone to RCA cable buts that's trivial .
That there is no need for extra drivers makes it promising for Linux
support .

I'll bet someone's already doing this but I've missed that post :)

Yup. Good question. In a future post I'll put up some measurements of
this thing being run off my Nexus 7 tablet. Given that this can be done
with Android, no reason why not full Linux.
