Genesis Time Lens

Hi,
I am currently using a laptop (using foobar)USB out to a cheap USB to SPDIF converter and into a Genesis Time Lens and then to my CJ DAC. I figure, the Time Lens will clean up any issues coming from the laptop and the cheap USB to SPDIF converter.

I noticed a lot of the new DACs have USB input. Am what I am using today essentially the same as the newer DACs, but with more boxes?
Thanks!

In terms of function, yes.

Though it may be that the Genesis Lens offers improvements due to its jitter reduction and other features. Not sure how it compares to more recent options for providing the best possible digital signal.

The time lens still holds its own. I always wanted one, then Esoteric entered the upsampler/reclocker game so I went with the modern age but it does work, nicely. Nothing on the planet can help USB(besides a sledge hammer) though. we are on the eve of the world realizing USB is not for audio. Look at the new players coming out. No usb!
