while searching for a simple multichannel audio
interface for playback, i came across the N-DAC 8 by miniDSP.
There is no standard AVB support in Linux currently, but the USB versions
from miniDSP should work just fine (basic XMOS based class compliant
behavior).
In other words, the N-DAC will not work with Linux (or windows) out of the
box though it should work with some of the macos computers (not sure about
the newer ones). If you are familiar with building code, and commandline
scripts to tack things together and have the right NIC... etc. etc. it
probably can be made to work. It is really an experimenters toy at this
point, nowhere near plug and play.
The u-dac 8 on the other hand, should just work. (same product but USB
rather than AVB)
