| Behringer | UCA202 Audio Interface w/optical digital | DS108j | 0598 | Valtonia | 2008.06 | Volume works, but sound stutters when accessing NAS via web/fileshare. After more testing radio works without stuttering which suggests that problems are caused by disk access. The disk I'm using is a Hitachi Deskstar 500Gb T7K500 7200RPM 16Mb cache. |

| DIYEDEN / MUSILAND | SVUSC01 USB Sound Unit | DS210j | 2.3-1157 | Double 'S' | 2010.07 | USB tube/valves headphone amplifier with line-out based on Burr-Brown PCM2702 chipset. Works but with lots of hum/noise when combined with DS210j. Analogue devices like the SVUSC01 are very sensible to electric rubbish that this Disk Station introduces trough the USB connector (poor electronic shielding?). Never had this problem with previous tested laptop/desk computer. |
