I read in the book that if you manually turn the d1100 off and on using the power button that it comes back on in pre-amp mode not DAC mode. If power cycling the DAC just to get USB to work becomes routine like it was on the c2500 that is going to suck bad.
Question for you - When you have your c1100 on and connected to the d1100, and cycle through your inputs, does “balanced 6” still show up or no?

No, “balanced 6” does not show up as a separate input when cycling through.
Just yesterday, my usb worked perfectly, as it typically does, although I have experienced what I described a handful of times. Being that usb is your sole source, I imagine it will lock on all the time. I switch mine a lot but now usually use coax or aes, just because.
I have to say, the D1100 USB input gives up VERY little, if ANYTHING, to the aes and coaxial inputs. The usb is very well done.
