You could also go wireless, such as to a Squeezebox, and then use its S/PDIF digital out. Another option is to connect peer-to-peer with the Squeezebox via Ethernet. In my experience, this Squeezebox solution is sonically superior to inexpensive USB converters or USB DACs. You will be limited to 16/44 unless you want to step up to the Slim Devices Transporter, which gets you to 24/96.
USB DAC or USB to SPDIF conv. + non USB DAC?
The only digital out from my PC is USB. It is my understanding that a USB connection will limit the sample to 44.1 or 48Hz (correct?) So, Im thinking of getting a USB to SPDIF converter (like the HagUsb) plus a non-USB DAC (like the Lite NOS AH DAC).
Does this make sense?
