DACs And Motherboards Working With Snakeoil

[agent_kith]

Snakeoil is a specialised OS with a custom built kernel. This means even though Linux can support almost all audio devices known to history (from the very old to the very latest), that support has been stripped off to a very small subset. It's not ideal to build a OS that will support 1000 devices when all you need is just 1. The following is a list of DACs and digital interfaces tested to work with Snakeoil, and any special instructions if needed. Obviously this is not a exhaustive list, would appreciate your feedback on what DACs work so I can update this.

If you have a audio device or DAC that is not in this list, please create a support request thread to have your audio device added.
