Hello there

I use my Mac mini M1 connected via USB-A to my amplifier/DAC (ROTEL A14MKII) and use ROON for music playing. I use this mini to download TV shows and movies.

Sometimes, I transfer a file to a Sandisk SSD and ROON can’t detect my amp anymore, unless I restart the mini.

My ISP is sending me a new router with an Ethernet 10G plug & I’ll buy a an usb-c to Ethernet adapter from UGREEN or Cable Matters. But I’ll chose a 5G.

Which USB port shall I use and where can I see it is working as intended, on top of doing a speed test?

I’m afraid that the adapter brings issues with my DAC.
