Very i
rgro, I also have a Rega dac and have used it via usb from the SBT
thanks to Triode's work. I found there was quite a difference in
presentation compared to spdif. Which you prefer is subjective, but you
should give it a try. The changes are easy to reverse.

Consider this .
Async USB may be the best interface ever if properly implemented .
But spdiff and TOS is not to shoddely done in a good DAC either .
There is a lot of well implemented work arounds to the inherit
weaknesses in those connections .
Can anyone be expected to hear any difference at
Thanks dsdreamer.yeah, unless someone makes a compelling case
otherwise, I'll just do nothing. I enjoy the Rega a great deal and
unless something is going to make a very noticeable difference at
modest additional cost, I don't see that it's really worthwhile to
change anything.

Thank you both. In light of your commenets, I did a bit of research on
the Rega dac. It seems that its USB interface only supports up to 16
bit/48khz files.
While I don't have a huge amount of 24 bit/88/96khz files, I have
enough that I don't think I would sacrifice those in order to make the
The main advantage of the Asynch USB connection is the elimination of
clock jitter.
Basically, rather than having to recover a clock signal from the signal
sent by the SBT to the DAC (Push), the asynch USB approach allows the
DAC to control when it receives information (Pull).
SBTs are fairly go

Looking at all the excitement over Triode's work with asynchronous USB
stuff, can someone explain to all of us numpties if asynch USB is
somehow "better" than, for instance, using a "regular" dac's connection
to the Touch via coax or toslink?
For instance, my Rega dac has a USB input. If the eff
