Is there any DAC compatible with FreeBSD?

A grep in /usr/src shows nothing. Port multimedia/webcamd has something:
Code: 
/usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd $ grep -Ri M2TECH *
work/webcamd-5.13.2.6/media_tree/sound/usb/Kconfig:    tristate "M2Tech hiFace USB-SPDIF driver"
work/webcamd-5.13.2.6/media_tree/sound/usb/Kconfig:      Select this option to include support for M2Tech hiFace USB-SPDIF
work/webcamd-5.13.2.6/media_tree/sound/usb/Kconfig:      This driver supports the original M2Tech hiFace and some other
work/webcamd-5.13.2.6/media_tree/sound/usb/Kconfig:        * M2Tech Young
work/webcamd-5.13.2.6/media_tree/sound/usb/Kconfig:        * M2Tech hiFace  ...

Don't know if that's a hiFace two. A USB product ID could be helpful here.
 
Code: 
ugen0.3: <M2Tech hiFaceTWO UAC2> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

  bDeviceClass = 0x00ef  <Miscellaneous device>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0002
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0001
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
  idVendor = 0x249c
  idProduct = 0x930b
  bcdDevice = 0x0661
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <M2Tech>
  iProduct = 0x0003  <hiFaceTWO UAC2>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0002

Doesn't look good, a grep in webcamd gives this:
Code: 
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x04b4, 0x0384),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x04b4, 0x930b),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x04b4, 0x931b),
  :
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x249c, 0x9001),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x249c, 0x9002),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x249c, 0x9006),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x249c, 0x9008),
./media_tree/sound/usb/hiface/chip.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x249c, 0x931c),

The right combination isn't there. Vendor 0x04b4 is Cypress Semiconductor, 0x249c is indeed M2Tech.

I don't know why you search webcamd. It's not needed.

I recently got an EPOS GSX 300. Works fine with my headphone and mic.

I have a Schiit Modi which costs more than $100 but works on any system that has uac2 over USB. That was the answer to my query. I use Linux for that, haven't tested on BSD, but I can do that if someone intends to buy on

Hi,

We have not tested every distro but most common ones do work with modi in my experience. As long as your machine supports uac2 over usb you should be fine.
Best,

Is Linux such as Manjaro or Ubuntu compatible with Modi 3 USB?
Click to expand...
I'm still hoping to get FreeBSD to send some sounds to a new Schiit modi+ connected by usb.
If usb is a fail, I'll be forced to use toslink or coax. :-(

Edit. [SOLVED] see https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/schiit-modi-dac-for-improved-sound.90044/#post-619859
 
2 questions please

1. Is there a reason to use the internal resample? I would prefer bit-perfect playback.

2. Can I play DSD(mine uses DSF extension) files without converting it to another format?

Thanks a lot.
