Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts?


I now have a DAC ( I like this DAC a lot, so it is not getting replaced) that only uses a CoAx input and does not have the ability to input USB. Many streamers seem to utilize just USB as their output. There are a few USB to SP/DIF cable converters out there, but I have not heard any of these cables, nor do i know anyone who has. For those who have heard this type of conversion, is this a good way to go? 

Personally, i prefer the SQ of a CoAx cable to most all of the USB cables i have heard. Thoughts?

You'll get past your resistance to replace the DAC much sooner than you think.

Cables? You want a DDC.

How can you attribute total SQ differences to a cable? VS what?

Nope. This DAC has bested a lot of others in my system. Not going anywhere.

@fuzztone  You should swap cables in your system. Until you have done this, you really do not know how much effect they have, and trust me, they have a major effect.
