    I can't answer that, but are you asking if a PC and DAC are both plugged into the hub will it work?

    i am talking about having a USB hub connected to a laptop. Plugged into the hub is the external DAC and other devices. The hub I currently have it causes popping noises to appear in the audio. I was wondering if there is a USB hub out there that is perhaps better quality than the one I have (which is a very generic, low price model).
