Just a shame i can't use MM1 internal DAC (which is way better than internal DAC in PC when playing USB out to MM1s). Interesting that you can get PC connected usb out to spdif converters, but not vice versa. http://www.firestone-audio.eu/shop/products/allproductslisted/redkey.php?gclid=CMbfwtCvr7gCFafLtAod4w4AoA Completely understand that connection to streamer is not same as connection to PC. cheers.

That is pretty easy, as spdif is a simple, one-way link, whereas USB requires a lot of smart handshaking. A spdif data stream is just audio, whereas the data over USB can be pretty much anything. So an audio stream over USB is easy to map to a spdif audio stream, but a spdif data stream doesn't map into USB data very easily. To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard. In this fast-growing art of 'high fidelity' the quackery will bear a solid gilt edge that will fool many people - Paul W Klipsch, 1953 Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD I thought you were asking about USB speakers not a DAC. Are these USB speakers that have a built in DAC? If so, maybe I suppose, since you are actually feeding a DAC and then the DAC is feeding the speakers. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Well I have a very limited understanding but AFAIK USB speakers would have to have a DAC of some sort wouldn't they? OP do you have specific speakers in mind at all?
