External DAC with USB microphone

If I'd connect an external DAC to my Arch computer and then an USB microphone - would Alsa be able to mix these two channels and send mixed to an external (USB connected) DAC?

Re: External DAC with USB microphone

So you want to mix microphone input (A) with that of external DAC (B) and send it to a second DAC (C =  A+B)? If your hardware is supported, then yes. Depending on how much control you want to have, it may be done with a simple dmix. Why not just try it?
