If you have a dac with a well engineered async usb implementation then it could potentially be better than an spdif connection as with it the transport is clock locked to the dac and not the other way round. However it really depends on the dac and so this is only relavent to people with such dacs. There have been many more posts here an elsewhere on this for you to research. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
