[Voyage-linux] USB DAC problems with Voyage 0.8 and new Voyage 0.8.5

[Bruno]

Hi Punky,

nothing happened.... :-( still no sound from USB. I also tried to 
switch on USB DAC after booting, but nothing

I would like to try to upgrade 0.7.5 to 0.8.5 installing new kernel, 
new mpd and all that is new via apt-get, but I don't know how to do it. 
Can you please explain?

Thanks!

Ciao
Bruno
