What's your favorite Asynchronous USB to SPDIF interface ? ...
Or what should I be looking at for best sound from a computer. I have/use both Macintosh and PC computers and wonder which one(s) you guy like and recommend. I'm not looking for a DAC, just the interface/adapter.
Thanks! |

The one and only I have experience with is the V-Link. It does make a difference when compared to optical on my Mac Mini n

I'd like to see how these compare, the Audiophilleo1 with the WaveLink HS 24/192 USB to SPDIF converter. Both look they would do a nice job.

I'm keen to hear people's experiences on this too. I have a v link. I've heard the empirical audio off ramp is very good - to throw one more into the mix.

Audiophilleo 2 or JKeny Modded Hiface.
They turn any computer into a superb source and really level the playing filed among dacs. I have the Audiophilleo. Highly recommended and it's only $500. Plus you don't need a digital cable.
