RE: Question about USB storage

Open up the device manager in the "Connection View". This will show how your USB devices are connected. If you have more than one USB host controller then it may be possible (if you have enough USB sockets) to configure your disk on one host controller and your DAC on another one.

If you move things about, use "scan for hardware changes" to update the diagram. I found that I can move USB devices between my two controllers on my desktop machine and if I needed to run USB devices while listening to a USB DAC that's what I would do. Don't know about laptops, though...
