@vinyloid,
Yes, I got the same take on those thread. So, maybe I'm wrong. The only way to tell is try and audition some more contemporary DAC's. Though I have to say DAC's from the 90's never contemplated the high resolution being offered today.
Re USB, a touchy subject...
For me, I loathe USB. Way too twitchy and dependent upon all the equipment around it. Just look at all the products offered to help clean up the USB signal.
I prefer optical. You just can't pinch it -(like Verizon did. It took 9 months for a tech to find the problem of my services dropping erratically).
