The truth is that you can never catch up or hit the perfect nexus of newest computer technology and universal application. It just doesn't work that way in the real world.
If you want the longest duration of compatibility, then buy the newest computer offering and buy the peripherals that presently work with it and plan to upgrade peripherals later as compatibility catches up.
Eventually, USB DACs will become outdated and be replaced with newer DACs that will also become outdated within a couple of years. It's just the nature of computers and peripherals.
IMO.
