Yamaha A-S801 and moOde

[Caesar]

Dear friends.

Does anyone know if Yamaha's A-S801 amp (ESS SABRE ES9010K2M DAC) plays well with moOde?
It needs a driver for Windows and Mac.

It sounds like a YMMV situation. If I were getting this device I'd make sure that the seller has a no-cost, unconditional  return policy.
