My DAC (topping d10) is USB power and data , now I know why it's bad now it's too late. It distorts under 'random' situations but I got it down I think to the available power of my USB ports on the motherboard and my excessive collection of things plugged in. I don't know how to test it as only the DAC distorts and only on 'blue' not 'red' both PC's are windows, Intel, 700w power supply's, all drivers are the same and it's configuration is the same only difference is Blue I haven't activated windows because the run time is 9 years ( ex register) and I wanted to test stability, can I diagnose the USB ports power delivery in any way. If I'm missing something I'd love to know haha
