I think the 1st thing is the ALSA setup.

Configuration files are:
~/.asoundrc
/etc/modprobe.d/alsausb.conf


I have a barebone computer working as audio server, with an external Audiolab
DAC connected via USB:

~~~
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [MDAC     ]: USB-Audio - Audiolab M-DAC
                Lakewest Audio Audiolab M-DAC at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.6, full
speed
 1 [HDMI     ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
                HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf7d00000 irq 43
$ lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0451:adac Texas Instruments, Inc. 
...
~~~


As an example of what your setup might be, here is my ~/.asoundrc :

~~~
pcm.!default{
  type plug
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    channels 2
  }
}
~~~


and, using a usb connection, my /etc/modprobe.d/alsausb.conf :

~~~
# ALSA portion
options snd cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda_intel
options snd-usb-audio index=0
options snd-hda_intel index=1
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
~~~

There are also a lot of system optimization you can do if you want you machine
being a better bit-perfect real-time audio...


Anyway, other setup is required if you are using a software audio server.
I have mpd running, and here (as na example) is the content of my mpd
configuration file /ect/mpd.conf (the DAC setup is in the
`audio_output`section) :

Obviously, you should refer to *your* specific hardware and software
configuration, having a closer look to the ALSA (and MPD if used) documentation.

Hope it helps.
