Q: 1. Can I use it to input coaxial SPDIF signal into my computer?

A: No. SPDIF is a digital audio signal, therefore would not be a signal that a computer would recognize.

Q: 2. Can i hook this to an amp and powered subwoofer at tbe same time

A: It depends on the powered sub woofer. The DAC has just stereo left an right outputs, so it really does not behave like an A/V receiver that has a dedicated sub out. Rather, you would use a powered sub that has full-range left and right inputs, which would pass through the internal crossover, which is typically variable, and then pass thru a full range l/r signal output that you can then feed to your amp,

Q: 3. How long is the USB cable included and is it USB-C?

A: The cable is about 12 inches long and compatible with any USB port, including USB-C.

Q: 9. Will KORG DS-DAC-100m Mobile 1Bit USB-DAC work effectively with zoom?

A: Yes, but there are a few steps you will need to go through first since the Korg DS-DAC-100m is for converting recorded WAV and MP3 audio files to DSD. The combined audio and video from a Zoom meeting is saved as MP4 format and the audio only is saved as M4A format. You would need to convert the Zoom files from M4A to either MP3 or WAV first and then you will be able to use the DS-DAC-100m to convert the recorded audio files to DSD.

Q: 10. The quality of the controller is not very good. There are points where you face sudden changes of the volume. Is this normal? Can I use a different controller with my CR8S subwoofer?

A: Unfortunately not, other controllers do not work with the Mackie subwoofer.
