Hi John, do you think the CM6631 would be a better choice?
I am now thinking of getting t
The C-media USB receivers are some of the worst ones ever made, their
sole redeeming feature is that they are dirt cheap. No wonder you like

Iphone,
By using the flow control capabilities of USB, the clock in the DAC can
be completely isolated from the rest of the data delivery chain. In
principle, this would allow a local low jitter clock to be used in the
DAC instead of the compromise of using a clock derived from the S/PDIF

What campaign, there is no campaign, but there is a question? Why buy
or bother with a USB DAC when Squeezeboxes are not designed to use this
inferior output connection?

Do you already own one? If the answer is NO, stay away from USB DACs.
Use the Coax Digital out on the Touch!
If on
This trick might work with the new Arcam RDac.
Also has asyncronous USB.
Any thoughts?
Just a thought as its a helluva lot cheaper than the Ayre!

Give me a day or two and I'll post the instructions. There are some
caveats, its NOT plug ang and play, if you make the file modification
to use a USB DAC you can't get output from any other output, it will
JUST play to the USB DAC. You also loose the UI sounds (beeps etc when
