Finally got around to firing up my DA8.
1. The top plate of my black unit has clear discoloring from the factory. Speckled on a patch about 4 x 3 inches. Quite dissapointing.
2. The greater question is about driver. Where did you find your drivers?
I download the driver but it was a .rar extension which is compressed. (like zip) http://www.yulongaudio.com/en/down.asp
But when I do the setup, I get this message: "can't find any driver designed for your machine"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
ps: I am trying to set it up so that all sounds from the laptop goes through the Yulong - in effect it become my soundcard. I did that with Eastern Electric Minimax Plus and it configured itself with no effort. I'm assuming I can do that with the DA8? Thanks.

MassDropFanWhat operating system are you attempting to install the driver on? Its probably as simple as not extracting the whole archive into a folder, but the other possibility is that it has to do with windows 8 and mandatory driver signing (I think you also posted this same question on head-fi as well). If extracting the archive doesn't help, try going through these steps to disable windows 8's automatic driver signature enforcement and see if it works:

Make sure you actually extract the whole archive into a folder, it sounds like you could be trying to launch the installer from within the .rar archive, which would also account for that error. Effectively, you'd be launching the installer from a temporary directory without the rest of the files present, giving you that error message.
Somehow I don't think the drivers are signed correctly either, so either possibility is more than likely the culprit behind your installation problems. I can't remember at the moment if an unsigned driver warning popped up on 7, but I can try uninstalling/reinstalling if you'd like me to test. Otherwise. please try these and let us know if either works!
Edit: I just looked at the drivers, they are signed by amanero, but it seems the certificate expired 6/28/2013. It says certificate valid from 6/27/2012-6/28/2013. Not sure if that would effect installation on 8, as I'm on 7 and don't have a system running 8 to test on.
