Comments: Out of the box, the DAC didn’t work with Volumio. I kept receiving “usb 1-1-port2: over-current change” errors in dmesg with no audio only a clipping sound. To resolve this I had to add the following to /boot/config.txt:

max_usbcurret=1 max_usb_current=1
which then allowed the DAC to show up in my devices list, I could select it and it works brilliantly now.
