Hi, Has anyone tried this yet?

As for in my car I am looking for an external DAC solution. I have a USB and 3.5mm jack connection to choose from.

It looks to me that if I connect a USB Y-cable (split data and power, the USB from the car feeding the DAC) the Explorer2 may work... or it may not... that is the question?

Or, alternative, the AnK K10 or Onkyo AC HA200 are an option altough I wonder how Onkyo will cope with MQA (thinking that Onkyo goes MQA).

Any thoughts?

Cheers!
