Just wanted to throw this in......
On the McIntosh USB DAC side, I have a D100, D150, and a C2600 (with built in DAC). I have never had a problem with any of them and 99% of all the music I listen to is through one of these USB DAC's... And I use one or more of them on a daily basis...
The only reliability issues I have ever faced were caused by USB cables and those were only used just for the sake of seeing if they would work. The one exception is I did have a issue back in the Windows 7 days when I tried out an Audio Research USB DAC for a couple weeks, didnt like it, then used that computer with another DAC. I uninstalled all the Audio Research drivers, but I did have driver issues with getting a different USB DAC to work. I could have probably troubleshot it more, but it only takes 15 mins to reinstall Windows so I went that route and never had a problem similar to this again.
