Just use a good USB source direct into the DAC's USB input, and just do not purchase a DAC which does not have a well implemented USB input, there really is no excuse these days for a DAC to have a poor USB input, the details of getting it "right" are now pretty well understood by most sharp digital engineers. Now, if one has a "legacy" DAC which they love, the might benefit form converter like this. So for those with a direct USB connection from server to DAC adding an opticalRendu would serve no purpose? For those streaming, a long copper Ethernet cable from router to server would also be okay providing there was subsequently a good direct USB connection from server to DAC. The above is what I do now Sound Minds Mind Sound Link to comment

Anyone experiencing an uptick in sound quality must be deluding themselves and those silly people must just like the sound of jitter? Berkeley must be incompetent engineers. Since you are in the industry, where do I buy your perfect usb DAC? Also, I assume Sonore's UltraDigital converter gets a free pass, right? +100 this nails it on the head. What we have is opinion expressed as fact with a little condescending postscript for good measure....'oh feel free to disagree if you prefer jitter' (or distortion as expressed on another topic, but the theme is the same). I agree with "condescending, like you [Barrows] have everything figured out" statement. I note that this was rejected but then it appears to be a case of, 'only what I say has been figured out matters ' jomsjoms, sandyk, Abyss Man and 2 others 3 1 1 Sound Minds Mind Sound Link to comment
